Ermenegildo Zegna also known as just Zegna just released something that can improve your iPod experience, called the iJacket. I think you already know what is this, but let’s find out something about this new item for iPod lovers. The Zegna Sport iJacket is built to help you control the iPod volume, play/pause or turn off the iPod and skip back and forward between tracks without having to open the jacket or to reach inside the pocket. You can control it by touching the buttons on the sleeve. The jacket will be available in select Zegna stores worldwide, spring this year.

Here are two pictures of the fancy piece of clothing (click thumbnail to enlarge).

Isn’t it cute? Now, let me tell you a few things about it. First of all, it’s not real, or at least not yet. The “Nokia Open” would be a cell phone that opens like a fan with a “scrollable touch screen,” which seems to be an essential-yet-nonexistent item that would need to be invented in order for this to work. Quite of a paradox, ain’t it?

With the push of the button, the phone would open up allowing you to navigate and use its functions. This really is futuristic, but not really that far away as flexible displays via e-paper will be implemented in the next decade among the electronic equipments.
