In Japan, the usage of bamboo in computer products is pretty much the generic equivalent of using charcoal gray or opalescent white plastic in the States: wholly unimaginative, perhaps cloying. But what’s a design cliche in one hemisphere is fresh and invigorating in another, and I’m not ashamed to say I find the polished bamboo look of Micro Innovation’s latest accessory line-up to be pretty swank. They should start filtering through electronics retailers in April or May.

I could use a hub and some speakers too, but I’ll prob’ly never bother ’cause it’s all bamboo.
