For starter, the Core7 sports the same compact design as Little Disk; it can be laid flat on a desktop can be hung on a wall. Five ports are located on the recessed area beneath the Core7; one port on top is for flash drives and portable hard drives that require quick and easy access. A tethered mini-USB cable which replaced one of the ports can recharge compatible MP3 players and cellphones, but it can also connect to USB gadgets with a mini-B interface. Perhaps what’s most important here is the pricing. At 19.99 MSRP, the Core7 hub will appeal to a lot more people than the wobbling hub.
