The Reppo II Backpack is a product design by Joonas Saaranen. As you may be able to tell being the astute observer that I know you are, it's a hardshell backpack with speakers. It was designed with those people in mind that want to subject you to their music no matter how much it sucks. Like Captain Deaf of the USS Busted Eardrums I had to sit next to on the bus yesterday. He was wearing headphones, but he had the volume up so loud the whole bus could probably hear. I mean WTF? I was going to grab his iPod and smash it, but I knew that things would work themselves out. And you know what? I was right. He got mugged after getting off at his stop. Poor bastard, no more music for him. Say, speaking of music -- I've got a nice iPod for sale. Great condition, comes with a pair of really loud headphones
The Alien forehead-looking speaker set dubbed the "Hermione" launches this month in Korea. Britz International's speaker delivers 2.1-channels of sound from your PC, with the .1 coming from the rounded HR Giger-inspired sub. No word yet on pricing, but we should know more as the launch date nears. Hermione may be worth an import for folks who want to match their all-black computer case and monitor

The BlackBerry® Storm™ smartphone is Research In Motion's first full touchscreen mobile phone and on the surface, it's just another one to add to the ever growing list available. However, the Storm™ has gone in its own direction and features innovations not found anywhere else, plus the draw of the awesome email capabilities of a BlackBerry® mobile cannot be underestimated. Read on to see why the Storm™ was one of the most anticipated mobile phone releases of the year!Features at a Glance
A 3.2" touchscreen with a 360x480 resolution and SurePress™ technology.
Built-in Assisted GPS with BlackBerry® Maps installed.
A 3.2 megapixel camera.
Music and video player.
The Storm™ is 3G with HSDPA support.
1GB of internal memory and a microSD slot compatible with 8GB card. Why You Should Buy the Storm™
The BlackBerry® Storm™ is running version 4.7 of the BlackBerry® OS, which has been enhanced to become more finger friendly. What is good however, is how little the experience has changed from other recent BlackBerrys®, you have the regular shortcut keys on the home screen and either by pressing the screen or the handy BlackBerry® button below it takes you to the full menu as usual. Alongside the BlackBerry® menu key are the call and back keys, however, one could also call the entire screen a key all by itself! This is because of SurePress™, a system which means you actually have to press the screen down to select a function, resulting in a soft click.
At first, this can be a little disconcerting and it will take a while to become fully acquainted with it, however once you are you'll appreciate the level of feedback this system provides. BlackBerry® have also thought about the text input too, something which is so important to the overall BlackBerry® experience. Holding the phone normally gives you the SureType™ style keypad familiar to anyone who has used a BlackBerry® Pearl™ smartphone, but by turning the phone on its side - and letting the accelerometer adjust the screen automatically - a full QWERTY keyboard is displayed to make tapping out messages much more natural. DataViz is installed which allows you to edit most popular documents and then send them on too.
Like many other touchscreen phones, a swipe of your finger scrolls around pages or through your picture gallery and just as before, the BlackBerry® key brings up the menu so anyone used to a BlackBerry® OS will be at home here, while new users will be quick to adjust. The Storm™ is a 3G device and has support for HSDPA plus EDGE and GPRS, so web browsing on the move is as fast as currently possible, plus the BlackBerry® browser has been given a tweak or two and is better than previous incarnations. Of course, this being a BlackBerry® means it excels at anything email related and connects quickly and simply to just about any network you can think of.
Away from the business side of the Storm™, you have the 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera with an LED flash, a very capable music and video player, a 3.5mm jack plug for your own headphones and the Assisted GPS receiver complete with BlackBerry® Maps.
