Wear your iPod with iWear
The iWear allows you to attach your iPod nano to your clothes. Instead of shoving the iPod away into a holster or arm-band, you transform it into a worn work of art. Assuming, that is, high-creepiness values for "work of art". I mean is it me or does this guy look like he's been taken over by his iPod and that it's the iPod, not the guy, in charge? You can almost hear him saying "I am an iPod minion" in a strange robotic voice as he staggers forward to take over the world and attack the forces of Vista.

I guess putting the iPod on the chest would be a bit too... Darth Vaderish? Or is that only for the black iPod?
And let's not forget the pants! Nothing says "cool urban sophisticate" like an iPod sewn into your zipper.

My god, that looks like some sort of Obedience Control Device you'd see in a sci-fi story like 1984 or something. First of all it plays soothing anti-violence mindless-work-inducing music laced with subliminal messages to Obey the Establishment. And with its new built-in Thought Monitoring feature, if it detects even a hint of seditious thinking, it immediately causes the neck collar to constrict, choking you to death.

Now is the time on Sprockets when we don our iPod-laden clothing. There. Now are aloof, yet fashionable.
I find the anger of Fake Steve delicious.

I always laughed away rumors of a 'Cult of iPod' until today. Now I fear it may be too late for me and countless outers, enslaved to our little plastic masters of music.
Now, if you'll excuse me, it is late and the ear buds beckon once more... once... more...

Swatch had this for oversize watches about 1991. I got one for my nephew for christmas about then and he promptly lost it or had it stolen by his schools chums.

At least it will protect you from ninjas and other people from slitting your throat.

I think it says, "hi, my existence is validated by this consumer item, so I'm putting it here where you will look at it, instead of my face."

I'm glad that the story is critical of this thing. I hate it when stories are uncritical of the most obviously stupid thing.
Just because something can be done doesn't mean it's a good idea, and building iPod support into clothing is one of those things.

Now Apple is on the other side of the 1984 deal, all their customers are now their drones.

I'm pretty sure that's the front-man for The Hives. Fine band.
