Shirt Features Built-In iPod Controller
It's a shirt. With a built-in iPod controller.
Chip Chick points the way to a rather cool shirt that enabled the wearer to control an iPod without having to retrieve it from a pocket or purse. Called the grooveRider, its designed for both men and women and incorporates a unique interface called Smart Fabric. While it can't be said that the grooveRider is ideal for first impressions or a night on the town, it does seem geared for the active user.
Apparently users simply shove the iPod into a built-in pocket and then connect the controller cable. The headphone jack is located on the upper part of the shirt. The Smart Fabric interface supposedly allows users to control the device volume, skip, play and stop all songs without actually touching the device.
The grooveRider can be purchased online here for around $150. It's definitely a cool idea, but for the price of a real iPod, I'm don't think I could force myself to actually wear it.

Cool, something I can look out for the next time I go robbing people.
At that price, I'll probably keep the shirt too.
One question: Why spend $150 on this?????
Finally I could use the iPod touch as I used my old iPod. With the old good wheel I could use it through the trousers, without need to take it out of the pocket!
... for only 150$
.. ewww
I hate it when people point out grammatical errors in the article, but just take a look at the last sentence.
About this, this is an extreme example of America's laziness (or human's). Honestly, are we that bad we can't reach into your pockets?
And if there's a situation where we can't reach our iPod, odds are we shouldn't be listening to it.
I would rather buy myself an new iPod Nano at that price
it better be washable! hahahaha...
for $150, it should have built-in speakers so you can play Stayin' Alive while you strut down the side walk!!!

True that.
That way, you could say you're wearing the iStink when coming back from jogging...
for 2 seconds i thought the title said "Shit features, ipod controller"
Apple lawsuit in 3...2...1...
So to turn it off do you fart?
Wow, that thing looks stupid. But people buy Snuggies, so they will buy this shit too.
But can it play Crysis
But can it play Crysis
Probably not.
Apple takes them to court because they can, in 5....4....3....
150 bucks for a shirt with a build in controller??
I mean, how lazy could you be? I'd rather go out drink 150$ worth of beer and use my fingers to control my ipod!
Should have called it the "iPonce" Are you supposed to buy one for every day of the week? And it's for an Apple product, but it's not white - that is the real story!
You guy's are retarded, it's a new concept.. who gives a shit if it costs $150.. don't buy it.. just like retardedly expensive SSDs are, so are these. Give it some time.. Negative feedback never helps our world progress.

It's not that it's expensive, I don't like it because I think it's a useless idea.
It's not a useless idea, sure it's not the most revolutionary, but it's these small steps.. making at times retarded inventions which result in every now and then really outstanding ones.
I hope the "Smart Fabric" which is used to control the iPod is conveniently positioned on the chest. We'll see women playing with their boobies all the time!
Give me some smart underwear, lol. Volume up, volume down, volume up, volume down. How do I skip?
