Well it's about time. Like everyone else, we've been pining for a combo USB Aroma Radio/Speaker for some time.

Apparently the insane but driven R&D staff at Hong Kong's Brando was determined to one-up the competition, which includes aromatherapy gadgets in the form of USB humidifiers and fragrance oil burners. Brando's version not only tickles the olefactory senses but also pipes in the music from your MP3 player and provides mood lighting in seven LED colors.

For optimum relaxation, be sure to use this on a computer with at least two USB ports. Because you'll want to reserve the other for the perfect complement, a mouse massage.

Its so expensive

I wonder why cNet even looks at brando. First of all, its HK based comapny with
ridiculously high prices. You will probably get similar stuff, right in the US for
less price, except such weird material may be..

Price being an issue, I won't really look at this site but if I am interested in such
weird gadget then yes, may be.
