iPod embedded in a scarf…practically

February 27, 2006

Im so one step ahead… mouhahahah, still an interesting post on an Engaget post

“The bright pink silk tie has a hidden pocket on the back that’s the perfect size for an iPod nano, and includes an extra loop to keep headphone wires from getting tangled (though from Pink’s promo pic, right, it looks like the wires will get a bit jammed anyhow, since the headphone jack on the nano is on the bottom). We can’t help but worry that using this with anything heavier than a nano would result in a curious tightening around the throat — not to mention a rather unattractive stretching of our neckwear.”
