The mp3blue MP3 playing jacket

Rosner and semiconductor maker Infineon are teaming up on a brand new way to blow seven hundred bucks: a jacket that plays MP3s. The mp3blue comes with a keypad sewn into the sleeve (just like the Amp, the snowboarding jacket Infineon did with Burton), a memory module with room for 128MB worth of music, wiring to connect to headphones, a microphone hidden in the collar, an eight hour rechargeable battery, and Bluetooth for connecting up to a cellphone (and when your phone rings the music is automatically paused so you can take the call). So basically you're paying a lot of money for an ugly jacket that has room for maybe 35 songs on it. You're probably better off buying a jacket you like and saving the cash for a better MP3 player, or at least waiting until they come out with a cheaper version that'll let you pop in any MP3 player.
