One of the fun things about finally owning an iPod is that I can now start enjoying all of the nifty devices creative manufacturers are introducing to further integrate the iPod into everyday life.

A couple of days ago I reviewed the rugged Maxpedition Fatboy Versipack, which I have been using as my casual gearbag. Quite a few of our readers either wrote me personally or posted in the Fatboy’s forum saying that they had been looking for such a bag – but they needed one that was a

I can’t even begin to say how many times I have wanted to run a quick errand without taking along more than the basic necessities – my ID, Amex, some cash and my PDA phone. Even as a die-hard Gadgeteer I feel that it is a bit of overkill to make a quick trip to
