Joonas Saaranen, Industrial Design student, has found a way to make his mark this year. The Reppo II is a boombox backpack that strays from the all too familiar NXT.That being said, this hard shell bag does not have to use the traditional soft speaker design and should yield great sound. Im not sure if there is a market for this since the form factor is quite limiting compared to soft bags.
Great idea tho.

Burton is taking it old school with this retro style back pack. A pioneer in this area, Burton originally launched the Amp Pack back in 2006. It was ahead of its time with SOFTswitch remote control. This sweet iPod enabled bag comes trimmed in a black faux croc leather.To match the retro look, you may have to get on eBay to get this bad boy running. Sadly is can only use iPods up to the 4th Gen. None of the newer ones, like the Touch, Shuffle, Video, etc will work. The bag is priced at $239.90 but can be found at a lower price if you shop around online.

Targus Inc., maker of top-selling laptop computer cases and accessories, announced their latest addition to their line of backpacks and laptop carrying cases. The SonicPak speaker backpack.
Throughout last year we have seen a growing range of speaker bags coming to the market and we speculated if those speaker bags are the next generation of ‘Boom-boxes’.
In the ‘old days’ of Boom-boxes, it was fashionable to carry large yet transportable music centers around the city.
Today, everyone has his/her little MP3 player, iPod or audio cell-phone where only one person can listen to the tunes, there is not much possibility of sharing your music.
Plugging the iPod and MP3 player into the bag brings back the music sharing with friends and anyone nearby.

Tomorrow Incorporated, a new consumer goods company that produces toys and wearable apparel for kids, have developed the Britepack, the latest light enhanced bag.
Triggered by movement or impact, the Britepack sets off a pattern of LED lights and shuts off when the bag is put down. Its fun for kids and has strong parent appeal, since in low-light conditions kids can be more readily seen in traffic and urban areas.
‘The light-up and roller shoes have been available for awhile now, so we wanted to take “wearable tech” to the next level,’ said Jim Huntley, Chief Marketing Officer of Tomorrow Incorporated.
Next to the fun the kids will have with the lights, parents can appreciate the safety aspect Britepack provides as it gets darker earlier during the winter months.
The light power is ..read more
