DU Skiiers??? check out the new gear from Motorola


http://www.technewsworld.com/story/39412.html

Ski resorts next winter will be a lot noisier and folks just might be asking the jacket behind them on the lift to tone it down a bit thanks to a new line of interactive gear coming from Motorola (NYSE: MOT) and Burton Snowboards.

The gear -- a jacket, helmet and beanie cap -- will allow the wearer to enjoy music or phone calls or to toggle between the two with their Bluetooth-enabled Motorola phone and iPod wired into a padded pocket.

For the helmet and beanie cap, the wearer will listen to music through the specially equipped phone. The music will pause when a phone call is received.

Burton's jackets sell for $200 up to $800, and the new interactive products will sell in the upper middle of that range.

4. Forget Motorola. Big Repuke donor!
Hubby lost job after 26 years to outsourcing. We lost health benefits too. Only two years away from vesting! Needless to say, we don't buy Motorola.
