As expected December 12, 2008
Works well, just as expected, plug&play install without a glitch, has cute lights at the top when you plug something in. Did see it cheaper at newegg later on, but that was a holiday sale, so it won't always be the case.
The little hub that could (mostly) December 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am using this hub connected to an iMac with an external Seagate hard drive, an ink-jet printer, and a connection for a Logitech Harmony remote control all plugged in. So OK, the hub in the picture kinda looks like a gear shift hanging on to a USB cable. What the picture really shows is a hub designed with 3 USB ports in the rear that you cannot see (one in and two out), along with a hidden socket for a power cord. What you can see are the two ports on the top which are easily accessed for plugging in USB memory sticks (with one already occupied with a memory stick). That is, they are easily accessed for memory sticks if you place the hub on your desk. This brings up the clip on the end that allows you to anchor the hub to a cable to keep it in place (it is very light). I still have not figured how to use it, so I am quite happy to have my hub sitting on my desk with the cable clip unused. I have had no problem with this hub, except that adding an iPhone with a depleted battery that needed charging seemed to be calling for more power than the hub could supply. Don't blame the hub: I think this would have been a problem even if I plugged the iPhone into the ports on my keyboard. A little rearranging made everything work just fine. Just remember to eject (MAC) or deactivate (Windows) the USB device before yanking it out out the port if you are still using the computer.
Small & Attractive -- Fits My Needs! IT IS POWERED, BTW, if you need it. November 28, 2008

I received this hub yesterday; and although I haven't had a long time to use it, I believe it will be the perfect USB hub for me. I currently have my keyboard & iPhone 3G dock plugged into the connections on the back. I prefer to leave my printer hooked up to it's own USB hub on my iMac. This leaves an open USB port on my iMac for one of my backup drives that I use (in addition to the two I have attached to the firewire ports.) This arrangement seems to work flawlessly. I am very pleased with this hub for a couple of reasons. The two top USB connections are very handy for connecting temporary items, such as my digital camera card reader, headphones, etc. Also, it is very small and has enough weight to sit squarely on my desk. One thing I should mention that I don't believe is very clear from the description of this item. THIS IS A POWERED USB HUB. It doesn't have to be, so you can use it with a notebook without power. However, I do have the power adapter plugged in. I figure "why not" since I'm using it with an iMac. VERY PLEASED so far; and I doubt that a Belkin product will prove to be faulty at a later date.

Bought one of these when I got my webcam last year and I have to agree with the other reviewers that this unit really is well designed. Nice weighted base makes it stay in place, and the rear two ports keep my webcam and scanner running while the top two ports handle my flash drive and an iPod connection. Unit is powered and the attached cable minder keeps another cable (or cables)close by. The unit has given me no problems in the nearly year that I've had it.
 works...but there's probably better for the money. October 7, 2008

If you have a space for this little hub behind your devices, you'll be fine. I'm not sure if the cord holder is supposed to be able to hold this device in place in the air, but it doesn't, so don't count on it doing so.
I had trouble getting some of my devices to be seen when I had this hooked up to an XP box, but I had no trouble on a Vista Ultimate machine.
I've had this device for about six months now and it's functioning as intended. I use all four ports and I have no issues with it at this point.
