Jointly developed by Motorola and Burton, the Audex Jacket integrates wired and wireless connectivity to let snowboarders listen to music and chat on the phone - on the slopes.
First in a line of Audex products developed in cahoots by Motorola and Burton, the companies have announced the commercial availability of the Audex Jacket. Targeting snowboarders who want to listen to music or take calls while on the slopes, the jacket integrates a set of controls in its left-hand sleeve which connect to a set of speakers and a microphone concealed in the hood.
Equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, the sleeve controls are capable of relaying calls to said speakers and microphone wirelessly courtesy of its support for the Handsfree and Headset profiles. Listening to music, howeer, relies on an old-fashioned 3.5 mm earphone jack to connect devices such as
an Apple iPod nano or Motorola's own, iTunes-enabled
RAZR V3i.
Other products in the Audex line will belong to the Audex Protective Gear line, including the Audex Helmet and Audex Padded Hat, both equipped with Bluetooth stereo headphones in order to eliminate the wired solution of the Audex jacket. Thes products are slated for availability in 2006.
The Audex Jacket, however, is available online immediately online and at Burton specialty shops, starting at $600 USD.
