jackets aren't what we'd call "a dime a dozen," but they aren't impossible to
find,
either. QIO Systems is looking to take the next logical step in wearable electronics by giving gadget lovers the ability to choose which thread to wear while retaining the innate ability to play nice with one's PMP. The PANiQ controller is a removable, standardized dongle that can be attached to any piece of clothing in the burgeoning PANiQmode line of attire. Said clothing will tout inbuilt controls that will play nice with any device attached via a PANiQ module, with initial support including dock-connecting iPods / iPhones and Bluetooth devices. So far, PANiQ customers include Cole Haan, Zoo York, KILLA, iQuantum, Celio, Beaucre, and Bailo, but we're hoping that list grows exponentially in the near future.

"Is that a Member's Only Jacket?"

Interchange with "the Fonz".
You hear on your ipod an eerie oldschool mac voice say "Your jacket is now dry" jk
Seems kind of pointless with A2DP wireless music streaming and AVCRP wireless controls...ohh unless you have an iPhone.
Meh, they're trying tho.
As far as I know, Scott-e-vest is the original wired clothing for geeks on the go.
