Posted By: Bharat BhushanSharma | May 8 2009

When we have designers designing ships for Star Trek’s new movie, it goes without saying that those gadgets from the trilogy too needed a real life introduction. And who better to have made it possible, than Brando, whose conceptualized the Star Trek "The Original Series" USB Communicator internet phone for all us nerdy Trekers, you know what I mean. Weighing at about 140g and accompanied by a 6 foot long USB cable to transfer audio signal, the USB Communicator internet phone is compatible with a host of VoIP software and in $43 is ready to set you for a space call (maybe I stretched that too much).
