The chin of the skull is removable, revealing a normal USB connector for using the 2GB flash storage you’ve got available in the ring.

The USB Humping Bunnies are not much different than the USB Humping Dogs at least when we are talking about their purpose, which is just the same – to entertain you and your friends for a while. When you plug one of these USB Humping Bunnies in your laptop it will start humping it and that is what is fun about them, at least for a while, plus the bunnies look cuter than the dogs, although that depends on your personal preferences. The USB Humping Bunnies have one advantage over the dog version, because they come with 1GB built-in flash memory, which makes them somewhat useful and not just some weird and fun gadget.

This USB Humping Bunnies are blind-boxed, which means you’ll be totally surprised by what you get. Blind-boxed items come sealed from the manufacturer, without any clue on the color or type of bunny until you open the box, so you’ll be surprised when you open the box. Anyway there are only two types of USB Humping Bunnies so far – a black and a white one and both of them look cool enough.

The price of the USB Humping Bunnies with 1GB flash memory is $15.

If you still have one of the first generation iPhone mobile phones or an iPod touch there was no way that you could get a GPS module for your device, unlike the lucky owners of the new iPhone 3G devices, at least until now. A company called Orange Gadgets started accepting pre-orders for their external GPS module for iPhone and iPod touch claiming they’ll start shipping the first devices in just a few days (10/22/2008). You’ll have to prepare $75 for the external GPS device and have in mind that in order to take advantage of it you’ll have to jailbreak your phone or music player, because of the software that accompanies it.

The iGPS360 module is designed as a direct plug-in for your device and it has a built-in battery back-up which will store the last acquired GPS satellite information on-board, enabling a fast GPS-lock re-acquisition time after the module has temporarily been switched off. You can always charge the built-in battery trough an external USB port on the GPS and you should have in mind that the GPS won’t drain power from your iPhone or iPod in order to charge it’s internal backup battery.

You will need to install a GPS application on your iPhone or iPod Touch that can access the iGPS360 module, because Orange Gadgets ships you only the hardware module and not the software. Luckily there are a few good apps out there that will do the job well and the best software that currently works with the module is the xGPS software developed by xWaves. You can alternatively use Simba’s Hike.app or RoadMap, but these work only on 1.x firmwares and not with the newer 2.x ones.

The price of the iGPS360 is $75 and it is expected to start shipping on october 22th.
