Digital Music Eyewear From Oakley

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the listen-to-them-frames dept.

Mecha-A writes "Am I the only one that finds this insanely awesome? Oakley is marketing a new line of digital music eyewear in time for the holidays. $400-$500 is an obscene lot for a small USB MP3 player, but the coolness factor is way up there. Questions: Is a brand name like Oakley going to get this idea off the ground? Who's going to be first to market this same thing except with a 'now playing' HUD on the sunglasses?"

    I see no BSD on the list, and seeing as this is slashdot, so most likely, yes.

    Why is everything these days "awesome"? A hurricane is awesome, a star exploding is awesome, but a sunglasses/mp3 player combo?

    awe n.
    A mixed emotion of reverence, respect, dread, and wonder inspired by authority, genius, great beauty, sublimity, or might.

    OK, they are a neat lil gadget, but they dont inspire reverence, respect, dread and wonder in me.

    Notice how both guys in the pictures have false teeth?

    Does someone need a lesson in hyperlinking?
