Wireless Bluetooth Sunglasses

elecngnr writes "Motorola and Oakley are going to team up to create Bluetooth enabled sunglasses. At the CES, Motorola had also announced that they would be developing some bluetooth embedded clothing with Burton, a snowboarding company. " Speakers built into the hood, and controls built into the jacket for your audio player and phone.

So the question is

[Kipsaysso]

Will the glasses black out if a Microsoft product comes on screen? Or will they turn blue?

"What instructions are there on the laundry tab ?"

Not sure about Windows users, but for those with OSX 10.2 and greater it should read: "Hand Wash in iSync or iClean only"

har har har.

Blue Screen of Death

[elecngnr]

Yes. MS recommends that when this happens you remove the glasses, fold them up, put them in the case, get them back out, and them put them back on...oh yea, and they recommend installing SP2.

Bluetooth clothing?

[Mudcathi]

Does this mean I have to worry about hackers turning my socks into spam zombies?

Clothes auto dry?

[oskard]

Auto dry? Auto fit? Auto lace? If it ain't up to McFly's standards, it ain't worth purchasing.

Lawsuit alert

[John3]

Motorola and Oakley better check with their legal departments...Suntiger Inc. [suntiger.com] might try and sue to protect their intellectual property [bannerwitcoff.com] for "blue blocking sunglasses" which sounds eerily similar to "blue tooth technology".

Wireless Bluetooth?

did I miss a meeting?

Bluetooth radius

[Handbrewer]

If i walk outside my bluetooth radius, i become scared and confused.

Interference!

[Line_Fault]

What a great product! Now everyone can cause WLAN interference without even trying!

Imagine...

[graveyardduckx]

A beowulf cluster of people wearing similar sunglasses... Ok, that even creeps me out.

Re:The goggles! They do nothing!

[ad0gg]

I'm off to install a Bluetooth chip into my toilet.

Would that be a shitty interface to your crapper?

They are Stylish!!!

[djplurvert]

Oh yeah baby, that's Stylish with a BIG S.

Take a gander here [oakley.com] at the mp3 version. Don't be fooled by the photography, these babies are BULBOUS! I think they're going for the cyborg look.

All I know for sure is that when I say them in compusa I just couldn't stop laughing.

I can't imagine using those things snowboarding. They look like they'd fly off with one quick turn of the head. I like lightweight and simple glasses for boarding. They WILL come off your face, unless of course, you are much better than me and NEVER find yourself yardsailing down the slope. Did I mention that they look like shit.

Re:They are Stylish!!!

[elecngnr]

Yea, they are pretty ugly. But look at the guy wearing them. Are those his real teeth? Maybe those caps are part of the antenna. God, I hope not, the guy looks like some reject from a hip-hop video

Re:Important Safety Tip

[AndroidCat]

Sure. "Hi! Yeah, I'm on the snowboard. Hang on, I'm about to Bono this tree..."

Not enough power... but someday...

[DaedalusLogic]

When clothing actually has enough processing power and connectivity, you will be able to say:

"There's a clan match in my pants and everyone's invited."

Sunglasses??? Motorola?

[zymurgyboy]

Great. So now I can go from being the dork with the tiny Jabra headset who appears to be talking to himself, to being the scary sunglasses-all-the-time Matrix agent who appears to be talking to himself.

DAMN YOU bluetooth device people!

Re:why

[darth_linux]

but imagine a beowulf cluster of them in the park!
