Levi's announces iPod-ready jeans

If you love your Levi's as much as you love your iPod, you're gonna love this. Levi's has announced the launch of its new Redwire DLX Jeans, complete with features for carrying and controlling your iPod. No photos were released, so close your eyes and picture this. The jeans will have:
  • A built-in iPod docking cradle in the side pocket. The company promises that the iPod bump will be hard to see.
  • A joystick remote control that fits in the watch pocket. The joystick will let you play/pause, move forward and back, and adjust volume without removing the iPod from your pocket.
  • A retractable headphone built into the jeans that's billed as a way to "prevent tangles and efficiently manage the iPod earphone wires."
Levis is planning to make the Redwire DLX Jeans available worldwide in the Fall of 2006. If you get your hands on a pair, just remember to take the iPod out of your pocket before you throw them in the wash.

I'm hoping it's a joke.

F-ing ridiculous, that's for sure. But I suppose there's really no other way for a company like Levi's to ride the iPod wave...

So now we'll get comments like, "Is that joystick in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" :)
