Motorola's TEAMMOTO Showcase Audex, the Ultimate Winter Jacket

Filed under category: Wearables

Put it on and plug it in! Actually, unplug it! Kicking off the winter sports season, Motorola Inc. and Burton Snowboards have announced commercial availability of the Bluetooth-enabled Audex Jacket Series. Motorola and Burton are also expanding their global relationship with the newly formed TEAMMOTO -- a Motorola-sponsored snowboarding team comprised of Burton riders from across the globe.

The new Audex jacket allows winter sports enthusiasts to experience seamless connectivity -- at the touch of a button -- from one environment to the next. At the center of the Audex jacket is a control panel located on the left-hand sleeve, allowing for simple and easy access to your incoming and outgoing calls, and music selections. Connect a compatible Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone to the panel wirelessly, while hooking up your iPod player via hidden, unobtrusive wires within the jacket. Speakers and a microphone are located in the hood for taking and making calls as well as listening to music. Words of wisdom - be very very careful. If regulators think that driving and talking on a cell phone can be dangerous, make sure there is an ER in close proximity if you plan to talk on the phone while snowboarding!
