All have worked fine from the start with no problems. I have the Hub plugged into a MacBook Pro, and have a mouse, keyboard and printer plugged into the Hub. I've had the PocketHub for one week now. So far no problems connecting or recognizing devices.
Very satisfied. This item was for the company i work for so timely delivery was very important. We received the item in a very timely manner and was packaged very well.
Well, it seems really slow. Overall a good product that does what it says. Great service. Not USB 1.0 slow, but this is definitely not the fastest USB 2.0 data transfer I've ever used.On the plus side, when the reader exhibited bent pins in the CF reader portion, Kensington sent out a new replacement without making me deal with the cost of sending back the old unit. Reads just about every type of memory card and the extra USB ports are a much appreciated.The hub comes with an external power adapter, but I've never needed it - seems to get enough power from the computer to run the devices I've plugged in. I haven't tried charging a normal iPod through it, but it has no problems charging a shuffle.Why don't I plug my iPod in.
The console log indicates it wants too much power. Unless your usb ports (and ac) are nearby, don't expect to locate the hub anywhere convenient. 1)It won't work without the power adaptor. I've seen the same report on Apple's web site about this product.2)The cord is a bit over 3 feet long. Long mini usb cords are hard to find and expensive. 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.
but it's not perfect. I have so much plugged into my poor little Mac Laptop, but I did notice that it is a bit slower to use normal things through this hub.I can't blame the hub.
