Home studio musicians won’t be able to wait to get their hands on a new guitar that streamlines music directly into a computer through a USB connection. For gadget gurus on the go, a new solar panel backpack lets you charge small electronic devices wherever you roam. And we haven’t forgotten about your four-legged friends. A new take on the traditional pet crate will have you saying goodbye to those bulky crates that don’t fit in with your home decor. And when Fido is roaming free in your house, a new cord covering is designed to deter him from chewing on electrical cords.
