Some excerpts:

Do you need a black carrying bag for work and travel that also allows you to carry both your netbook, accessories, and work papers, notebooks, etc? Instead of buying a tacky vinyl or polyester bag that looks like a laptop case, this messenger bag by Kenneth Cole could really boost your looks and provide a touch of elegance to your character. Since this bag is made of black leather, it simply goes with everything, making it a very affordable investment.

The problem is that the truly elegant, black leather messenger bags are in the $150-$250 range and sometimes you just don’t want to spend that much. This Kenneth Cole case would be a great compromise. It has a classy, simple style accented by the brushed silver buckle. It is perfect for carrying an iPad or a 10″ netbook, which you can easily keep within a separate sleeve in this messenger bag. There is still plenty of room (probably another 4-5 inches in width) for papers, notebooks, a portfolio, or whatever. That being said, this bag is probably not suitable for a student who needs to carry three thick hardcover textbooks and notebooks – a backpack or bigger bag would be needed.

For everyday purposes though, this is perfect. There are lots of handy extras, too: a zip pocket on the outside (under the flap), a zip pocket inside the bag, and a pouch on the back (outside) of the bag. The black bag also has pen holders and other helpful features inside. The magnets fitted in the fabric helps the flap stay put even in windy days, so you don’t have to close the buckle.

For the sake of looks, this bag doesn’t have a handle. It would simply not fit as nicely into the look of the bag. If this is a deal-breaker, Kenneth Cole has lots of other amazing bags to check out. All Kenneth Cole bags are fitted with nice fabric on the inside which stays clean and looks really smart.

Overall, for the $75-$90 price point, this is one of the best black leather messenger bags you can find. I have several myself.

Steve Jobs describes the iPhone 4 as one of the best looking products ever released, with tempered glass (reportedly 30 times more durable than plastic) on the front and rear, and stainless steel on the sides. Thankfully, with the iPhone 4, Apple has ditched white as its primary color, which makes this smartphone a treat for people like us, who crave black gadgets like nothing else.

iPhone 4 is 24 percent thinner than its predecessor, which is said to make it the thinnest smartphone on the market. The thickness is 9.3 millimeters.

Great care has been to provide the best reception possible, for example, the antenna is enclosed in steel casing. It also offers dual microphones to reduce noise. Looking at the number of pixels, it is now 960×640, which is four times as many as before.

As previously disclosed mode there is an IPS-panel, which ensures better color reproduction and viewing angle. The contrast is 800:1, which is really good to be a cell phone. (The old model was 200:1).

When it comes to the inside, Apple’s A4 processor at 1.0 gigahertz will provide enough speed for most of todays services. This is the same processor found in the iPad. Another similarity with the iPad is the choice of micro-sim, which is a smaller version of the sim-card.

The new battery provides up to 40 percent more talk time, then seven hours instead of 5. At 3G surfing the battery life is 6 hours and during WiFi-surfing 10 hours. Watching video keeps the battery running for 10 hours. To only listen to music, 40 hours apply. Standby time is 300 hours.

The camera offers a variety of news, in addition to five megapixels we are invited to built-in flash and digital zoom (5x). There is also a camera on the front for video chat.

Another good news is that the new iPhone supports the WiFi-technology 802.11n, which among other things, allows file transfers to and from the speeded up considerably.

In passing, may also be told that the iPhone 4 has an internal gyroscope, something that makes games such as Jenga much more fun!

iPhone 4 is available in glossy black, which gives us lovers of black a new reason to spend money on new technology.
