    We know, you're probably on your third USB hub by now, but even if this forces you to purchase an entirely new machine in order to cram one more USB-powered whatchamacallit into it, it's simply a must. Meet Tengu, the USB lip syncer that politely sits beside your machine until it gets wind of nearby tunes, after which its face lights up and the digital mouth begins to try its best at matching the words coming from your speakers. Unsurprisingly, the design will reportedly be manufactured by none other than Solid Alliance, and while it's hard to realize how awe-inspiring this thing is in just the picture above, click on through for a video demonstration you won't soon forget.http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/lip-syncing-tengu-adds-some-merriment-to-your-usb-port/


    A cute little lip synching USB toy for your desk.

    And it moves it lips as you type, or even lip synchs when you speak to it...

    Odd toy, but one that gets a vote for its coolness factor.http://www.thisnext.com/item/0517A6D6/Tengu


    The Tengu USB toy is a sound reactive USB character, i.e. that means to say that it will "wake-up" when it hears sounds. The Tengu USB Toy does not make any sounds though. It is a totally silent toy. What happens is when a Tengu is plugged into a USB port and it detects some sounds, it will lip synch according to the sounds that are heard. (If you ask me I don't think it really lip-synchs but the pixels just start moving when sounds are heard!)http://hubpages.com/hub/Tengu-USB-Toy
