It's not Hubzilla, but it's cool.
Another awesome new product that's coming out soon is the D-Link DFB-H7 QuickMedia USB 2.0/FireWire 7-port combo hub. At $50, it's beyond awesome... This despite my insane frustration of the last few days in trying to get their DWL-900AP access point to act as a range extender for the other D-Link wireless devices I have here in NJ (their DWL-614+). Which rates a *sigh* since I -only- bought it to use as a range extender (and spare access point). Oh well I'll use it at my father's office instead of his house...
Update: the product has a page of its own now, and the report on MacInTouch says that it will be $59, not $50. Still $10 less than the competition, though the competition has more Firewire ports and no USB2 ports.

If anyone cares, I ended up buying a Belkin Firewire mini-hub at the Apple store for $50. Almost perfect; the only problem I have with it is that it came with a warning (paraphrased closely):
"Warning: Handling the cable contained in this package may expose the user to Lead, which the state of California warns may be toxic." and goes on with a few details and a request to wash your hands after touching the cable.
(a) Ok, WHY do they have to use a cable that has lead in the jacket?
(b) Um. WHY?? do they use a cable that has lead? :)
(c) I'll definitely make sure that any young children who play at my desk chew on one of the OTHER cables...
