Breeze through the airport and stay organized in flight with two new nonsuitcases.

A fanny pack for your airplane seat Zen Class has developed an expandable bag that slips over the seatback trays on airplanes. The Nirvana Organizer ($39.99) can hold magazines, a passport, a portable DVD player, pens, earphones, and any other travel gear. It even has a cup holder.

A wearable carry-on bag Why carry a bag to the airport when a jacket can hold everything you need? Scottevest makes shirts, jackets, and vests that have as many as 28 pockets and are perfect for travelers who carry a lot of gadgets. The new lightweight windbreaker ($75) allows you to control your iPod or smartphone through three special clear compartments. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is such a fan of Scottevest's clothing that he has starred in six short videos on the company's website.

December 30, 2008

Another year has come to an end, and we've chosen our top picks for 2008. Like years before, this year saw many highs and lows in the world of tech products and services, and we've decided to throw the spotlight on some of our favorites. So, gather around. It's In Tech Today's Top Picks for 2008!

SCOTTEVEST Clothing

Gear: SCOTTEVEST
From jackets, to pants, to shirts, and even hats, no one does it as good as SCOTTEVEST. With a full line of clothing for both men and women, designed to look good while allowing the wearer to carry all of the electronic devices and other items so many of us have come to depend on, SCOTTEVEST is known for its incorporation of numerous hidden pockets into clothing items, which in turn expands their functionality. The best part - the hidden pockets really do hide the items you carry, leaving none of the unsightly bulges that can occur when you try to stuff your phone, keys, media player, and digital camera, for example, into pockets that were not meant to hold more than one or two things at most. With SCOTTEVEST, however, that problem is solved. Want to carry your phone, keys, wallet, media player, digital camera, a book, and even a water bottle with you while you're out and about, and not only feel as if you aren't even carrying them, but look like you aren't carrying them either? SCOTTEVEST has you covered. The weight management feature, which is built into their clothing items, allows you to carry all of the items you want to bring with you, while distributing the weight, so you never feel loaded down. The numerous pockets are also designed to lay flat and comfortably, so it never looks like you're carrying all of things you have with you on any given day. The clothing even features a patented system that allows you to run the wires from your headphones, for example, from a device in your pocket up to earbud holders near the collar, so you can enjoy your music while concealing all of the cords. How great is that? As for travel, you can carry all of your electronics and other important travel documents right in the clothing. When you reach the security station, simply remove your jacket or travel vest (leaving everything in the pockets), run it through the x-ray, pick it up and put it back on at the other side, and be on your way! It makes travelling a breeze. For everyday use, to business use, to travel, SCOTTEVEST provides you with the clothing you need to help make your life a little easier, and earns a well deserved spot on our list. We can't wait to see the new itmes they have in store for 2009.

How much can you fit in a SCOTTEVEST? Watch This!!!!!

FROM DEALNEWS.COM

dealTV: How Much Can You Fit In A SCOTTeVEST?

Published January 8, 2009
dealTV: How Much Can You Fit In A SCOTTeVEST?
Finding ourselves with a couple of free minutes one afternoon, we decided to see how many of our gadgets would fit inside the SCOTTeVEST SeV Evolution Jacket.

These jackets, which are a gadget geek's dream, are littered with all sorts of pockets, so it was no easy task filling the thing up. We had to dip into our retired-device box to get anywhere near capacity. (Handspring Visor, anyone?)

At $150, it's very expensive for a lightweight jacket. But in its defense, just compare how many other jackets you'd need to buy to match the same amount of pockets (and you couldn't even wear them all at one time). The SCOTTeVEST is the best when it comes to sheer volume of storage.

Don't believe us when we say it's cavernous? Look at what we managed to get in it:

January 5, 2009 - Top 10 travel gadgets

This past year I logged a half-dozen international trips, mostly to Asia, and dozens of domestic trips, cross-country and up and down the West Coast. I'm always trying new gadgets and software applications that are designed to make my trips more productive.
My measure of a useful travel product is one that I still use after three or four trips and one that brings a smile as I use it for its neat design or cleverness. So here's my top 10 favorites that I don't leave home without.
Apple AirPort Express Base Station -- This little device that resembles a power adapter for an Apple notebook without a cord, turns your hotel room with a wired connection into a WiFi hotspot. Plug the room's Ethernet cable into it and plug it into an AC outlet. In about 30 seconds you'll have a secure WiFi zone allowing you to use your computer anywhere in the room, even the bed, and not tied to a desk. It also lets multiple users have Internet access. $99.
Google Maps -- Google Maps on a BlackBerry, iPhone or other smart phones has been amazingly useful while traveling to faraway places. The free application shows where you are down to street level and lets you mark locations on the map to find them again. I've used it in the middle of the Australian Outback, in China and in Europe. I recently used it on a train outside of Amsterdam to figure out that I had gotten onto the wrong line and was heading in the wrong direction. While not required, it works best with a smartphone that has built-in GPS.
The LugBuddy -- This clever elastic cord contraption lets me carry any bag on top of my rolling bag by just strapping it up against the handle. It's easily adjustable and holds everything from a wide duffle bag to a briefcase, jacket or package of any size or shape. $15 (lugbuddy.com).
ScottEVest Evolution Jacket -- This helps solve the problem of high fees for checked luggage. By stuffing the 25 pockets you can carry on an additional 20 or 30 pounds of gadgets including phones, water bottles (empty of course), cameras, magazines and music players. Or you can wear it while strolling for a walk in a far-away city carrying your camera and accessories in the pockets instead of carrying a separate bag. $150 (scottevest.com).
Belkin portable mini surge outlet -- As soon as I get into my hotel room I plug this into one of the scarce outlets and have three AC outlets plus 2 USB ports for keeping all my electronics charged. The unit rotates on the socket so it works regardless of the outlet's location. $24 (belkin.com).
iPhone case and battery -- I've been using the InCase Power Slider battery and case that works with the iPhone 3G, a great phone, but with hardly enough battery power to get through the day. This case turns the phone into a chunky, yet streamlined package that doubles the battery life, great for my transpacific flights. $99 (goincase.com).
A leather case with battery from Tekkeon does much the same for $70. Its boxier design looks less sleek, but it enables the iPhone to stand up on its side to watch movies. (tekkeon.com).
Garmin Nuvi GPS -- If you plan to drive in strange cities a portable GPS is a must. I've been using an old model Garmin Nuvi, proving that even the basic model works fine. It relieves stress and provides guidance wherever you are. Some of the newer models now contain maps of Europe as well as North America. $149 to about $700 (garmin.com).
Skype -- Less a gadget and more a service, Skype lets me call home from anywhere in the world for about 2 cents per minute. I use it with a MacBook with its built-in mic and speaker. No extra headphones needed.
3G data modem -- While WiFi is fine where it's available, it can't compete with the broad availability of a cellular 3G connection that's accessible nearly everywhere. I've been using Sprint's 3G data service and a Novatel U727 USB modem that connects in seconds. The biggest problem is you can't roam outside the United States, as none of the U.S. carriers have widespread data roaming agreements.
FlightStats -- This great Web site (flightstats.com) provides a wealth of up-to-date travel information including flight status, delays, airport conditions, and even free alerts of a flight's departure and arrival. A great feature is its historical data showing on-time stats of every flight. Flight status info using the same data is available as an iPhone app called Flight Status ($5).
So what have I abandoned for 2009?
Universal adapters such as the iGo for powering multiple devices. They're bulky, use expensive proprietary tips that easily get lost, and are not as useful as more and more devices are using USB connectors to charge.
Tiny Bluetooth headphones -- They're more of a pain than a simple wired headset. Their talk quality is inferior, you need to remember to keep them charged, and they often fail to connect to the phone.
Netbooks -- While a real novelty and very compact for travel, I've found them to be very slow and often missing the applications and files I needed. In addition the small keyboard makes typing painful. And even though it saves two or three pounds, that's insignificant when your briefcase weights 25 or 30 pounds.
