Oakley and Motorola get into bed on the Razorwire

So Oakley's already let loose the initial surprise over their getting together with Motorola—which seemed a natural fit, what with Moto's jointly-developed extreme-sports products with Burton. The story at Oakley's latest sales meeting goes a little something like this: Oakley's Thump was such a hit they're getting in bed with Moto because they believe they can "redefine electronics"; we can expect not only the release of new versions of their Thump, this time with Bluetooth, but also another device we previously hinted at, which will be called Razorwire. We can expect this to be a "premium" Thump-like glasses-device (no mention of MP3 playback capabilities, but we're assuming they'll be absent) developed with Motorola, which will be Blutooth 2.0-enabled, and will feature a multifunction button for dialing by voice and receiving calls from a host phone. We can expect the Razorwire in mid-2005, and we won't be keeping our hopes up that it'll be something we'll actually want to wear and use.
