Dolphin Peripherals
I have a pair of house slippers with this logo printed on them. They were a free giveaway at InterOp, a networking computer convention that Mike and I used to attend every year. I’ve had them for at least five years, so imagine my surprise when I looked up the website and found out that Dolphin Peripherals still exist.
So many companies died horrible deaths after the Dot Bomb that I am pleasantly surprised that some of them were able to sustain themselves through those hard times. Sure, Dolphin Peripherals is a hardware company, but the entire industry was paralyzed for years. I’m glad to see that these little guys survived.
Unfortunately, you cannot purchase Dolphin’s products directly from them, you have to go to a retailer: Where To Buy Dolphin Products. It’s a shame really, because their 5-in-1 USB MediaDrive looked pretty cool (although 5 is stretching it a bit, a repeat button isn’t quite cool enough to warrant an actual feature alongside voice recorder, FM tuner, MP3 Player and USB storage device).
I’m just glad to see another little company has survived the hard times that we had and I’m hoping they are able to weather anything that comes their way.
