July 27, 2004 | Source: InformationWeek

Infineon Technologies AG and German clothing manufacturer rosner GmbH & Co. have jointly developed a men’s jacket, known as mp3blue, that contains built-in mobile telephony via Bluetooth and an MP3 player. A textile keyboard on the sleeve controls the electronic features.

When the wearer of the jacket places a telephone call, the stereo system becomes a headset and the music is automatically interrupted when calls come in.
