Traveling around the world with only the bare essentials has always been a key part of the hippie ethos, but in today’s high-tech world, the definition of what’s an essential has changed. Few of us are willing to go without our modern electronic devices, so to carry them around the world, you’ll need an equally high-tech take on the traditional backpack.
The Shuttle series of carbon fiber backpacks looks the part, providing incredibly strong but lightweight protection for even the most delicate tech gear. The four models will be named after each of the soon to be retired space shuttles, starting with the Discovery shown here.
This all looks pretty cool, but seriously dude, isn’t that thing going to make you stand out as you trek through Kathmandu?
The Shuttle Discovery backpack is available now for between $2,725 and $3,467 depending on options.

Few people under 30 are likely to have heard of Commodore computers, but they were one of the big players way back in the home computing dark ages of the 1980s. Now the brand looks set to make a comeback in the form of an updated version of the Commodore 64 called Phoenix, and this combination keyboard, PC, and touch screen called Invictus.
Details are still pretty sketchy, but with wireless HDMI, an Atom processor, small touch screen display, and nVidia ION graphics, it looks set to go head to head against the Asus Eee keyboard PC.
Pricing and availability are not yet available.

Tokyo based accessories inventor Tunewear just cooked up the perfect tool for those looking to bring the iPad’s utility into the kitchen, to the beach, or even into one’s bubble bath. Dubbed the Waterwear, the transparent case allows you to operate the touch computer seamlessly in all elements while your iPad remains secure in a durable plastic housing.
Obviously expecting many users to take the device into the shower, the makers also equipped the Waterwear with an adjustable strap allowing you to enjoy your iPad as it dangles from your shower nozzle (of course it’s only a matter of time before some rapper uses this to make the iPad the new neck-bling accessory of the moment). You can pick up your Waterwear iPad cover for 3,480 yen ($38) here.
