It seems that fashion makers are getting more attention on Apple’s iPod. We have Kenpo Jacket for iPod, Levi’s Jeans for iPod recently. Now, we have another jacket that made for iPod, the Koyono’s BlackCoat Work!
Koyono announces four new lightweight outerwear designs for Spring 2006 that will include integrated controls for Apple iPods. These control buttons are enabled with the smart fabric interface, ElekTex by Eleksen. The first design, BlackCoat Work is expected to be delivered in March 2006 for US$179. The other 3 designs are Sport, Minimal, and a secret design will be shipped in this summer, from US$149 to US$1,000.

The jean features:

“The Levi’s RedWire DLX Jean is the latest extension of the Levi’s brand leadership position by merging fashion and technology that provides consumers with the most innovative way to enhance their portable, digital music lifestyle,” said Robert Hanson, Levi’s U.S. brand president. “In designing the jeans we considered both function and fashion — the result is a uniquely functional, yet stylish, great fitting jean.”

Apple has just announced its iPod Radio Remote at Macworld 2006. It is a wired remote playback control for iPod Nano and iPod 5G. Besides, the remote also offers FM tuner functionality. Its suggested retail price is $49, same price range with a Griffin iFM
but with less features.
The iPod Radio Remote supports FM stations from 87.5 to 107.9MHz (in both the US and European standards) and 76 to 90MHz (the Japanese standard). You can switch between the different standards when traveling.
It seems that FM radio doesn’t matter to Steve Jobs. You probably won’t see future iPod with built-in FM tuner. Why don’t we just buy a Creative’s Zen Vision:M that has all the features!
