This streamlined backpack from The North Face features a clean, durable nylon shell design, plus it has pockets inside for your MacBook, iPhone, iPod and iPad. Sadly, the Japanese got these first, so we will have to wait our turn. Looks like it will be worth waiting for.

I have to admit, I have been less than thrilled with most of the iPod nano watch straps that have been flooding the market recently, but that all changed with Elecom’s outdoorsy new leather strap. They come in black and brown versions that run ¥3570 or about $42.
The first generation of wristbands for the new iPod nano were pretty basic, but the new silicone bands from Hex actually live up to the iPod’s potential as a functional wristwatch.
In this version, users can pop their iPods securely into the face, it has integrated control buttons and it comes in 9 different colors.
Remember that iPhone watch concept we featured a few months back? Well, this is as close as you will get to the real thing.
Basically, it’s a watch band that you can insert your new multitouch iPod nano into. As it turns out, the nano is just about the right size for an oversized watch face.

I’ve seen several variations of the iZombie design over the years, and even though the concept is tired, going headless on this version was a nice touch.
Koyono has created these BlackCoat-T and -Tx cargo shirts which feature a zippered opening in the middle, providing access to two hidden pockets specially designed for portable devices and interconnected by a single passageway. That means the next time you go out, you won’t have to store your iPod or cell phone under a flab flap or man boob.

The Dew Active Gear Quiver is kind of like a fanny pack, only less lame because you can sling it across your chest like a bandolier. Plus it does more than just hold your iPhone, you can actually manipulate the controls to change songs, volume or answer calls thanks to the integrated inSound keypad. It even features a headphone management system that prevents dangling cords and tangles.

What does Batman listen to on his iPod while fighting crime? Bluegrass music that’s heavy on the banjos. You heard it here first.

Combine storage, portability and entertainment and you end up with a cat head and a dead fish. Without claws to hunt with, this species of feline obviously utilizes its speaker eyes to beat its prey into submission with the power of sound. It’s still up in the air as to how he was able to lure a fish while riding someone’s back around a college campus.

Even Jesus has an iPod now. Surprisingly, he has a taste for crappy 80′s metal—including WASP’s F*ck like a Beast.
