"At first glance, the CoolIt USB Beverage Chiller ($39.99) looks like the next logical step after USB coffee warmers. The ChillIt, which we picked up at CES, keeps your beverages at a crisp 45 degrees F via a "cold plate." Or so it claims.

In our rigorous real-world testing (I took it home and used it while playing World of Warcraft) the Chiller was less than impressive. Although the cold plate was cold to the touch, it failed to cool a warm drink or even keep a cold drink cold, in glass, plastic, or a metal can. But then, if your drink has time to warm up, you're probably drinking too slowly.

Note: Some interns (apparently "let the intern test it" is a tradition at tech publications) have reported that the Chiller causes Windows problems because it draws too much power. I didn't have this problem. WoW pretty much maxes out my system's resources, so i thought maybe the ChillIt just didn't have a chance. But even now, when I'm doing relatively light work in my cubicle, all the Chiller does is make funny noises and fail to keep my Sprite cold.

[Thanks for the testing and writeup to Nathan Edwards, our intrepid intern this semester]"

Well, if they come up with a USB curling iron & lighted makeup mirror...... you let me know.  :D

(HOW lazily spoiled are we getting, I mean, really people?) hahaha....

OUTLET?????
Com on, that is not a BRIGHT SHINY NEW THING.  (ie: MTV=THe Bright Shiny network)

Got to have the BRIGHT SHINY NEW THING, before anyone else gets it on my block.
<end sarcasim>

What about a coozy?  OR one of thoes coozys you keep in the freezer?  OR perhaps ICE???????

_________________

ICE...CUP  :fright:
Yeah, it is an old idea, but it still does work.

actually I like the mug that uses an ice insert in the middle to do the cooling, without diluting the drink.

I have some of those frozen mugs that go in the freezer... love those, but after using them once, of course they're all thawed out! !

Couldnt they make the slide in cup holder a cooler also?  Why have a usb port for the cooler?

I know a USB port for my miniature house that holds my pet rock.
Now we're talking.  LMAO

Sorry to be geeky but fundamental physics say why that device won't work yet the coffee warmer will work. It's all about the heat rising. Cool liquid will settle to the bottom where the plate is and already cool. That's why it won't keep it cool. However, coffee warmer, hot liquid will rise and cool liquid will go down, where there is the plate which is hot. It will continue to warm.

Some engineer thought of this without thinking of basic thermodynamics.

well there's an easy answer to that ...

Duhhhh....just turn it upside down every few min

Yep....or simply drink your cold drink from the bottom by up using a straw!

I think I'll get two of them and set them on the floor to keep my feet cool.

Do they make one that pops popcorn?

Sounds like another Optigrab to me!!!

I like that. How many devices can one use through just one USB port?

they are, and they work well.

I even have a USB rocket shaped glitter light sitting next to my printer.

I've even seen the usb DISCO lights out there! !

I love USB products... on that "everythingusb.com" site, they have an aromatherapy bowl that warms up, an air purifiyer, and the way this thread started, a USB powered drink warmer and cooler. The link is for a Japan site, but instead of a cool plate, this will put the whole can in there! !

Another good site is http://funusb.com

Check out THIS light

They have bout everything there... usb pet identification tags, a usb powered pencil sharpener, a USB powered smokeeater ashtray, usb powered minivacuum, an oil burner (another armomatherapy thingy), an Ionizer, and something I kinda liked, a coffee warmer and four port hub all in one!

Yup, this ain't your daddy's pc no more!

Make sure to get one of these!

Use it as a last chance fix for those really bad singers.
