SF Bags: Cargo Bag has Instant Karma

Papa Got a Brand New Bag !

And not just any bag; a Cargo Bag by SF Bags (Waterfield Design).
This one is it . Over the years my trusted PowerBook G4 Titanium as been protected by no less than
9 different bags / cases . From the Hard to the soft; From the Semi Leather to the Neoprene ones. I must have tried them all.
And they never seem to fit right; When they look good (usually) they do not have enough pockets for all my stuff, and when it's the opposite, they look like I am going on a mission to Mars....
I must admit that this time around things are different; Just the right size (all my stuff fits and is well protected), The look is stunning (the kind that comes only from well taught design, reflection and miss and trial) the Quality is superb (I challenge you to find anything better anywhere at any price).
And like if that was not enough to make you want one (or two for that matter) it's a head turner; People are actually asking me where did I get such a gorgeous TieBook bag. I use it now for just about anything; From conference trip to one nighters, from the Office to the Gym (yes I do go to the Gym... Just because they have a bigger Plasma Screen). I won't be caught dead without it. I believe that Waterfield Design have created more than the perfect PowerBook Bag; They have created the ultimate Digital LifeStyle Bag; The Cargo Bag.
Now that's instant Karma!

Specs

Type: Hybrid (a cross between a messenger Bag and a up-scale briefcase with a distinctive look)
Suited for: anything that is part of your digital Lifestyle; PDA, Cell Phone, GPS, Laptop, iPod, Class notes, change of clothes, a small lunch, a Digital Camera.... and yes all of it at the same time!
Name: Cargo Bag
Design: Waterfield Design (www.sfbags.com)
Size: Available in Large with Indium Flap ; with Leather Flap / 16" x 12" x 5" / 4.3 lb.
Medium with Indium Flap ; with Leather Flap / 16" x 12" x 3" / 2.9 lb.
Small with Indium Flap; with Leather Flap / 13" x 10" x 4" / 2.3 lb.
Crafted Of : Ballistic Nylon and Leather (Yes Real Top of the line Leather)
Colors: Many to choose from
Price: I never talk Price (But more affordable than you think given the quality of it)

Service: The best in the business with a "Small Town I Will be there for you even long after the Sale Attitude"

Nintendo Builds Free Gamer Wi-Fi Network in Japan

Nintendo DS users will have access to a free national Wi-Fi network in Japan: The head of Nintendo said the company will build 1,000 hotspots and will charge nothing for access. Third parties might charge for access to certain games or features they offer. This is a fascinating idea: would Starbucks open their network for game-only use to encourage on-site caffeine consumption by players?

SendStation Unveils PocketDock Line Out USB for iPods; Intros keyring dock

Following the success of the PocketDock Line Out FireWire, SendStation today announced another member in its highly acclaimed series of thumb-sized iPod adapters, the PocketDock Line Out USB. It is the first iPod adapter on the market which features a standard USB socket as well as a 3.5 mm (1/8") jack, offering stereo line out from your iPod.

“The cool thing about USB is that no matter where you go, you can find the required cable almost anywhere,” stated SendStation’s Founder André Klein. “Just unplug a cable from a USB printer or scanner, hook up the PocketDock and you can instantly sync and charge your iPod.”

Featuring a Line Out jack which provides superior audio quality compared to the iPod headphone jack, the PocketDock Line Out USB is the ultimate choice for every DJ or HiFi enthusiast. In an effort to boost convenience, the included cables allow instant connection to an external amplifier or stereo system. The PocketDock Line Out USB is fully USB 2.0 compliant, providing transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps when connected to USB 2.0 ports. Additionally, the PocketDock’s streamlined design is a perfect match for the iPod and iPod mini.

Due to customer demand, SendStation also introduced a detachable keyring dock which protects the dock connector and conveniently allows customers to always carry a PocketDock with them.

“Customers have often found themselves in situations without their PocketDock at hand,” says Klein. “Since most people never leave home without their keys, our simple and efficient keyring dock empowers customers to bring their PocketDocks almost anywhere.”

The PocketDock Line Out USB is the first PocketDock to sport the keyring dock, existing models will be upgraded over time. Users who already own a PocketDock can inexpensively upgrade theirs with a set of 3 keyring docks at USD 1.98 (incl. shipping) from SendStation’s Online Store.
