LAS VEGAS 9 January 2005 Next winter, the world's snowboarders will add another "trick" to their repertoire with the ability to switch between their iPOD playlist and incoming calls in mid-air thanks to three new products from Motorola and Burton Snowboards. Launched at the 2005 Consumer Electronics Show, these Bluetooth-enabled jackets, helmets and beanies will provide wireless, high-performance connectivity and playability on the slopes for the 2006 winter season.

"dude watch me launch of that kicker onto that log "beep beep beep" you go....it's my broker"
Stoopidest thing ever! most places I go you can't even get coverage and I go riding to get away from it all not to take calls.
Would a surfer need one of these in a wet suit? "beep boop beep boop". "Hello honey, ya it's me....umm could you call the coast guard a shark just bite my leg off"

it could be good to communicate with friends on the mountain. I currently keep a walkie talkie in my forearm pocket, but this would be nicer.

i have various options in my k700i that let me send certain people straight to my voice mail, and others through.
i have VIP mode where only my family, best mates, and girlfriend can get through... so i would just turn that on when im on the slopes

derek2005: What phone is that? I hate always checking my phone and hitting the button to send people straight to voicemail.

radar you make a good point..."meet at noon by the dawg shack" only works half the time but the chances all you mates have the same $500 jacket are slim to none...unless you ride with the Burton/Moto team! If that's the case give me a ring.
