Isn’t it a hassle when your gadgets die when your camping?  Well, that’s not a problem anymore with the PowerBag.  The PowerBag is a backpack that lets you charge any gadgets you like.  It is equipped with a complete charging system – battery, Apple connector, Micro and Mini-USB connectors, and a USB port.  This bag can charge 4 devices at one time.  It can charge an average smartphone 2x faster than any charger.  This bag is located on Amazon, Best Buy, Kohl’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Macy’s.  The retail price is $129.99 and up.  This bag is out already so there won’t be any wait.  I think the PowerBag is a very useful item for wherever you are.  I think this bag has potential.  I will definitely be buying this at some point.

                                                        The Hop Suitcase

           Isn't it a hassle losing your suitcase at the airport? Well, you wont have to worry because the Hop Suitcase will find you. This suitcase doesn't hop, but it does roll. Its named after the bellhop at hotels.  This product automatically follows you wherever you go. Your probably wondering how does it do that? It has three receivers that sense the user's smartphone position over bluetooth. In other words it uses bluetooth from your phone to track you down. If you lose it at the airport, the suitcase will lock closed automatically and then your phone will vibrate. Unfortunately, this product is still in development, but it should available soon. The Hop Suitcase will be a big help for you at the airport. I think it will be a big hit. https://vimeo.com/45966677

                                                             The Hot Tug

           What do you think would happen if a hot tub and a boat collided together?

Well, there is a new product that's been created to test this out. The Hot Tug is a hot tub boat that goes 5 miles an hour and can fit 6 or 8 people. It is made of wood, glass fiber, and reinforced polyester. It also has a wall pipe to keep the water warm. If you get the deluxe version it will have a wood- burning stove to give it that rustic feel. It is very popular in the Netherlands because of the canals that give people access to the water. Unfortunately, it isn't available in the U.S. yet.  If you ever visit the Netherlands you can buy one there. The price is about 21,000 dollars.  I think the Hot Tug is expensive, but it is a nice luxury item. I think this product will be a very big hit soon in the states. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wgPs4MlId-g
