Motorola und Burton mit iPod tauglicher Bluetoothjacke [Update]

Burton (wir erinnern uns: Jacke mit iPod Integration) und Motorola (wir erinnern uns: iTunes mobile edition) gaben vorab bekannt, dass man gemeinsam Snowboardjacken, -helme und -mützen entwickeln wolle, die ein Motophone sowie einen iPod einbinden können. Zudem werden die Kleidungsstücke über Bluetooth verfügen.

They will feature a device on the sleeve that lets the wearer control incoming and outgoing calls, and toggle back and forth to music, sending audio signals to removable speakers in the hood.

Update 06.01.: Burton gibt einige weitere Details preis:

The Bluetooth-enabled jacket links a rider’s cell phone and/or iPod with an imbedded system operated via an easily removed control module on the jacket sleeve. Stereo speakers are built into the hood of the jacket and a microphone is embedded in the upper section near the collar, allowing seamless, unobtrusive wearability and playability. Elements can be swapped between products, used as stand-alones and removed and reinserted easily.
Helmet and Beanie - Bluetooth technology built into the helmet and beanie keep riders connected to their music and wirelessly to their phone. When the modules are removed from the helmet and beanie, they can double as a stereo headset.
