A company called BrightonNet is introducing two interesting bags called the "iPod shoulder Bag" and "iPod Bag." Each features a special pocket for the iPod as well as integrated speakers.

BrightonNet Corporation will release two bags on May 9th for the iPod with internal speakers. They are the shoulder-bag style "iPod shoulder Bag (BI-BGP1A)" and handbag style "iPod Bag (BI-BGP2N)." Each cost 12,800 yen.

The bags are synthetic leather, and feature integrated 2ch speakers and amplifier. In the middle is a special pocket, where the iPod is placed for playback. The outside of the pocket is shrouded in vinyl, so the wheel can be used without having to remove the iPod itself.

The internal amplifier has a maximum output of 0.5W x 2ch, and uses four AAA batteries. Connecting the speakers to the iPod is done with a stereo mini plug inside the bag.

The external dimensions of the bags, when you exclude the shoulder strap, are identical at 34 x 13 x 22mm (W x D x H). The weight of both is about 800g.
