I am not sure who it was at Urban Tool that had the lightning bolt of inspiration that told them putting iPod controls into a shirt was a good idea. It is basically a wearable iPod dock without any speakers. You stick your iPod in a little pocket and work the controls by fingering different parts of the fabric. For someone who works out or does a lot of cycling, it probably sounds like a pretty good idea, until you check the price and consider the fact that it really only requires minimal effort to take your iPod out of your pocket and change tracks using the controls. Oh and there is also the problem that lycra-esque fabrics only really have a place in the gym and on a bicycle, so you are somewhat limited in where you can use your Groove Rider. On the up side, it is machine washable.
Price: $170 [Urban Tool via Red Ferret]
