Japanese company Marshal has announced a netbook dock that includes a DVD super multi drive, a USB hub, and room for a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD.

Of course, there’s a cottage industry of online retailers that purchase gadgets like this that are only available in Japan and resell them in other parts of the world.
