mp3blue jacket

In Reuters' article titled "CeBIT fair: Phoning jackets, transatlantic pianos and a sweat-proof mouse", here's a picture of the "mp3blue" jacket which is referred to as the phoning jacket. The wired jacket designed for men includes an MP3 player and a hands-free Bluetooth mobile phone. It was widely written up last summer.

"Germany's Infineon Technologies teamed up with local clothing manufacturer Rosner to create the "multimedia" jacket.

The jacket has touch-sensitive buttons on the sleeves and sewn-in conducting fabric strips that link up to built-in headphones and a microphone hidden in the collar.

The MP3 player pauses automatically when the phone rings and a rechargeable battery gives the man on the move eight hours of service".
