Uh-oh! Looks like Scott eVest is going to have some competition. Here’s a Bluetooth enabled jacket with MP3 playing capabilities and controls on the sleeve. It has integrated headphones and microphone which will also function as a Bluetooth headset for a Bluetooth enabled phone.
“The German clothing manufacturer rosner from the Bavarian city of Ingolstadt and Infineon Technologies AG today presented a jointly developed product: A men’s jacket called “mp3blue” that features built-in functions such as “mobile telephony via Bluetooth” and “MP3 player”. The electronics are an integral part of the clothing. The electronic features are controlled by a textile keyboard incorporated on the sleeve. This new product for technologically progressive, fashion-conscious men can be ordered via the Internet beginning in early August.”
I wonder how expensive this will be!
