I bought this Belkin hub so I would have easy access to plug in a thumb drive. It is also compatible with Apple iPod. from Buy.com Pros: Top-load USB port, stylish design, brand name Cons: Slips easily The Bottom Line: Good and stylish 4port USB hub from Shopping.com This item, like other reviewers have mentioned, is a little on the lightweight side. You DO have to hold it down when you remove your USB hardware. from Amazon.com This item, like other reviewers have mentioned, is a little on the lightweight side.

Pros: Top-load USB port, stylish design, brand name

Cons: Slips easily

The Bottom Line: Good and stylish 4port USB hub

from Shopping.com I now own 7 of these hubs for my Apple computers, it seems it is the only Belkin product that works 100% of the time. I have tried many other Belkin products as well as other brands and this is the only one that works consistantly AND, Ritz is the only place that has inventory consistantly. from Wolfcamera.com Pros: Good layout, feels sturdy, Belkin name, includes AC adapter Cons: Too expensive, like almost all USB hubs (do they seriously think it's worth 30 USD?) from Shopping.com It can't power any of my hardware including my mouse and keyboard, my printer, and even though it said flatly in the description "Sync and charge your Ipod Shuffle!" it fails to allow me to do even that. I will be returning my product as it fails to do everything it was advertised to do. Belkin is the devil under a sheet. from Amazon.com USB hubs don't exactly do much, so they aren't especially exciting, but they're generally intended to be within easy reach and thus always in sight -- so I was hopeful when I found out that Belkin had introduced a USB hub intended to attractively complement Apple's computers and MP3 players. If that's your reason for considering this hub, though, look elsewhere. from Amazon.com i bought this belkin hub so i would have easy access to plug in a thumb drive. from Buy.com
