With designs like the Sidekick 2.0 and the Expert, users are able to play their favorite music with the push of a button, share their location or automate a variety of other tasks. Since the bag can be connected to a phone via Bluetooth technology, the hands-free system makes it simple to control a variety of apps, devices and services with a touch.
