What to Buy When You Already Have a See-Through Jacket
We already have the all-in-one computer printer and all-in-one cleaning solution. But how about an all-in-one jacket? The mp3blue is equipped with a built-in mp3 player and a hands-free Bluetooth mobile phone, so you don't have to worry about that stuff falling out of your pockets. And don't forget it protects you from the elements too.
German clothing label Rosner teamed with Infineon Technologies to build this decked out jacket. A textile keyboard on the left sleeve controls the electronic features, thanks to the electrically conductive fabric sewn into the lining. The electronic module contains an mp3 player with 128 MB of memory and a rechargeable battery that can supply power for up to eight hours. Headphones and a microphone are integrated into the collar of the jacket.

When the wearer makes a phone call, the stereo system becomes the headset and the music automatically shuts off when the call comes through (wish men had the same function). The Italian cotton jacket even has a removable hood (for more privacy while listening) and is machine washable. Just be sure to take off the electronic module holder thingy in the lining before you throw it in the machine. That would be bad.

If you have $725 lying around or are in the market for a new jacket, you can buy the mp3blue starting in August at www.mp3blue.de.
