USB Ferris Wheel Spins with Incoming Calls
written by: Michael Kwan | category: Weird? | posted: 11/29/07
I’ve seen lots of weird USB stuff here and this USB Ferris Wheel Phone Stand is right at the top of the weird list. Why exactly you would want a ferris wheel rotating around on your desk I don’t know. I guess if you are a hard core carnival freak this may be the coolest thing ever.
I’m not sure exactly how the device works, but the ferris wheel spins when you get an incoming phone call. I will assume since the device connects to your PC, and doesn’t mention connecting to your cell phone that we are talking about VoIP calls. Flashing LED lights in red and green also activate when the ferris wheel spins. The wheel is 11cm diameter and includes ten figures to ride the wheel. The price is $27 for this weird USB gadget [USBGeek] that can be powered by USB or a pair of AA batteries.

After you are tired of watching the ferris wheel spin, another option I have found useful for calls when I travel is earthCALLER. This is a Free PC to Phone VOIP app that lets you call any US or Canadian phone number for free. No minute limits either.
Has some nice features–saved contact lists, speed dial.
