Is That a WiFi Finder on Your Bag or Are You Just Happy to See Me?

Posted on 30 March 2010 by


Soyntec hit us up with a press release today on some of their new lap top bags.  The thing is, these aren’t regular old, garden variety bags.

The new additions to their Wiffinder series have a built in WiFi detector sewn into the front of each bag.

Using the detector is as simple as pressing a button.  If there are available networks in your area the device tells you do and also shows you the signal strength based on your location.  When you’re not hunting for some free WiFi to latch on to, the detector functions as a clock.

Each bag is made from high density 600D nylon, and there are 3 new models to choose from.

The Wiffinder 10 series seem more portable, and slimmer than the other WiFi detector bags they company previously launched.  These should see a much broader appeal.

The 210 is a messenger style bag, the 310 a back pack, and the 410 a traditional briefcase.

All three bags can accommodate laptops up to a 15.6″ laptop, have plenty of storage pockets and a shoulder strap.  And all their bags come with a 36 month guarantee.

Check them all out here.
