US$229.95 The Python blur by booq (http://www.booqbags.com) is a photo backpack designed to carry all of your digital camera gear plus up to a 17″ laptop with accessories.

That means this bag has a rigid, tough exterior that protects everything you put into it.

Mobee Magic Charger (http://macte.ch/J7xg8) is a new US$49 wireless charger for the Apple Magic Mouse. If you’re tired of replacing rechargeable batteries (and you do use rechargeables, don’t you?) and don’t mind an extra USB cord on your desktop, you’ll find this an elegant solution.
