Although 2007 has still a bit over 3 month before ending, the leading products in the Wearable Electronic sector this year are Bags and Backpacks for mainly iPod and cell phone control and bags with Solar panels to supply extra power on-the-go.

We recommend to read a recent article from USA Today about the transformation Wearable Technology but also Backpacks itself undergo at the moment.

Backpacks are any longer seen for just carrying books and peanut butter sandwiches. Students pack them with their laptops, cellphones and iPods. Backpacks have evolved into techno-fashion statements that have to look hip, feel comfortable and increasingly add end extend the functionality of all those devices.

USA Today states: "A bag is a badge. It's a statement of how cool you are," says Alan Krantzler, marketing chief at luxury luggage maker Tumi, which is nurturing a new market with student-targeted backpacks.

And further: "Backpacks have become command central," says Grant McCracken, a cultural anthropologist and research affiliate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "When you think about what's in them, they almost serve as mini-mobile homes."

Mark Treger, marketing chief at Goodhope, maker of G-Tech bags, which sells a $90 pack dubbed The Techno, adds: "We've moved from the Flintstone era of backpacks to the Jetson era in just a few years."

"Students try on backpacks like they're trying on clothes," says Bill Gargano, program coordinator at the Florida State University Computer Store.
