Compact and easy to hide5
I like to hide my cords and accessories under the desk and this really is compact and well designed. Best of all it can charge my accessories that I plug into it, too, since it uses and external power supply.

very limited product1
1)
It won't work without the power adaptor. I've tried it on my Mac's OE usb ports and on a pci board. Both will drive any usb product I've ever plugged into them including power hungry products like speakers, except the Kensington Pocket Hub. The console log indicates it wants too much power. I've seen the same report on Apple's web site about this product.

2)
The cord is a bit over 3 feet long. Unless your usb ports (and ac) are nearby, don't expect to locate the hub anywhere convenient. Long mini usb cords are hard to find and expensive.

Works fine5
I've had the PocketHub for one week now. So far no problems connecting or recognizing devices. I have the Hub plugged into a MacBook Pro, and have a mouse, keyboard and printer plugged into the Hub. All have worked fine from the start with no problems.
