Wearable Wireless: Dressed to Annoy

Excuse me, could you turn the volume on your jacket down please? Clothing manufacturer Goldwin has loaded flat-panel speakers right into their new line of snowboarding jackets. Grab some air — headphone free. Jack in directly to your MP3 player, choose your tunes and screen your mobile phone calls through the remote control unit that attaches to the sleeve. The Communication Concert jackets come in three styles. Costs start from 67,000 yen (approx. US$610).
