Just got my new rucksack, and it's sooo sweet, built in Bluetooth and iPod control.
Basically it's a rucksack with solar cells built into the fabric, and inbuilt iPod controls, bluetooth and speakers and microphones.
Paired up my phone and it works perfectly, listen away to my iPod, control it via the control pad, and when a call comes in it auto mutes and you chat away, then it reverts to the music.
.......and it continuously tops up the iPod and phone via the solar cells, what more could you ask for, in a rucksack!!
Only one drawback so far, the airport security people took a deep interest in it, I suppose it looks a little suspect on the xray machine! although once they had it open, they wanted one!

£170 notes, and I got it from O'Neill, as in the surf and snowboard company.
They are limited edition though, I found it hard to get one, but if you hunt about you should get one.
It's awesome!

It's called the O'Neill Solar H.2 backpack.
It has an Ipod specific dock connector, and interface cable, and is officially endorsed by Apple (one of only a few items). You also get firewire and USB 2 interfaces on it as well, so you can attach laptops, MP3 etc etc. You get about 10 different mobile connectors, so you can charge you mobile also.

None on ebay.
Any advice on were we can buy online worldwide?
Looks like europe only for now so we in the US would have to find source outside US.

If you go to www.oneilleurope.com and search the shops, look for the O'Neill store and then email or call them, they are limited edition, so you'll need to be quick to track one down though. |

*drool*
Does the rucksack fit a large laptop nicely? (I mean just contain it, not charge or power it or anything)
Nokia 3xxx -> Ericsson T20 -> Nokia 6xxx -> SE T68i -> SE K700i -> SE K750i -> SE K800i |
