http://rss.macworld.com/click.phdo?i=abc3dfa63516c1a17509608d0bba0c49

Our collection of reviews of iPad bags, packs, and slings grows larger this week. New reviews include Tom Bihn's Synapse, STM's Jacket iPad, Timbuk2's Freestyle Netbook Messenger, Cocoon's Harlem iPad/Netbook Sling, Incase's Travel Kit Plus, Loopbag's Transit iPad Case, Case Logic's Netbook/iPad Attache, and Kensington's Sling Bag.

------------------------------------------------------------------
10) Review: Fighting Fantasy for iPhone
http://rss.macworld.com/click.phdo?i=6ca011a406fb80234af8d5e5a4896b45

If you?ve ever read ?choose your own adventure? books, Fighting Fantasy: Deathtrap Dungeon (based on the original Fighting Fantasy book by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone) will bring back some fond memories. Developed by Big Blue Bubble, this reading-centric iPhone app is part adventure story, part role playing game.

------------------------------------------------------------------
11) Mozilla preps Firefox Home app for the iPhone
http://rss.macworld.com/click.phdo?i=81130d3acb3fec7e25de205ef46ef68f

Mozilla is working on an iPhone application called Home, which will let users access to their desktop Firefox browsing history, bookmarks and tabs.

------------------------------------------------------------------
12) Tom Bihn Synapse Backpack
http://rss.macworld.com/click.phdo?i=e868676c813c18354ae20db1ec25f803

Instead of a device-specific padded compartment, the Synapse offers a place to put your sleeve-encased iPad or 13-inch (or smaller) laptop, making for a surprisingly versatile daypack-sized backpack. Throw in quality materials and construction, as well as a clever design, and you get a standout bag for those of us blessed with both an iPad and a laptop.

------------------------------------------------------------------
13) Cocoon Harlem iPad/Netbook Sling
http://rss.macworld.com/click.phdo?i=007cc8f5c225feebd3c5db63e82c2bba

The Cocoon Harlem iPad/Netbook Sling is a good bag if you need to bring a lot of accessories and trinkets along with your iPad. Solid construction and unique design make this bag a pleasure to use.

------------------------------------------------------------------
14) Kensington Sling Bag (9"-10")
http://rss.macworld.com/click.phdo?i=c0f142583ebccd73fc616538663f8efb

The Sling Bag is a decent iPad and netbook bag at a rock-bottom price. It offers a smaller form factor over traditional notebook bags, but has enough extra room for a couple magazines or a book. Thanks to a few design flaws, though, you can do much better if you spend just $10 to $20 more.

------------------------------------------------------------------
15) Incase Travel Kit Plus
http://rss.macworld.com/click.phdo?i=ad0e8b44fd56d8aa015df328c822982a

The Travel Kit Plus is an impressive pack that makes it simple to tote the essentials for on-the-go typing: your iPad, Apple's Bluetooth keyboard, and a few accessories. It even includes a useful portable iPad stand. Its biggest limitation is that its bulk makes it awkward to fit inside other bags, but it's not quite big enough to hold documents on its own.

------------------------------------------------------------------
16) Loopbag Transit iPad Case
http://rss.macworld.com/click.phdo?i=7dd410ec4418f6d1f66e49f85bddeea9

The Loopbags Transit iPad Case is built well, though it's a better fit for netbooks than for the iPad. A unique, though perhaps gimmicky, design sets it apart from the crowd.

------------------------------------------------------------------
17) STM Jacket iPad
http://rss.macworld.com/click.phdo?i=2e1297fe3e124101b23b6a55c7930a33

The STM jacket iPad succeeds at its goal of iPad-carrying minimalism. Good build quality at a great price make this a solid choice if you don't need to carry many extras.

------------------------------------------------------------------
18) Case Logic Netbook/iPad Attache
http://rss.macworld.com/click.phdo?i=92a1a6a7f91417bef2fb1570d15ba65c

If you really don?t need many extras, and you don't mind some rough design edges, Case Logic?s Netbook/iPad Attache is an OK option when you consider its rock-bottom price.

------------------------------------------------------------------
19) Timbuk2 Freestyle Netbook Messenger
http://rss.macworld.com/click.phdo?i=648442be475de9b4e302cf3fe2639fd3

Timbuk2's venerable build quality and smart design are present in this scaled-down version of the company's classic messenger.

------------------------------------------------------------------
20) Review: ShapeUp Club for iPhone
http://rss.macworld.com/click.phdo?i=3d2de097263f237d44f1e74fa521dfee

The success of this app lies in its ability to do something relatively complicated -- detailed calorie counting -- in a very simple manner. A quick spin through ShapeUp Club, and you'll be amazed that you get this kind of functionality for free.
