You’ve seen those sticky gel mats that go on car dashboards, right? They are convenient because you can lay a mobile device on them, and the gel will keep the device from sliding all over your dashboard. The downside is that they also tend to collect airborne detritus.

USB Fever has taken the sticky gel pad idea and added it to a 4-port USB hub; the resulting device then serves as a handy desktop pedestal and charging cradle for your portable electronics.

The idea is pretty nifty, but I can’t help but think of how it will attract and hold cat hair from curious kitties. With my luck, Avah would commandeer it to use as her personal grooming tool.

You can get the 4-Port Hub with Jel Sticker from USB Fever for $13.99; cat hair not included.
