Imagine life without your fancy camera phone, GPS or other hi-tech gadget you proudly flaunt day and night. What, can’t live without them, and the though is making you jittery? But this is what future has instored for us. Still, don’t worry, we’re not completely wiping these gadgets out, but are presenting them in a different fashion - into your clothes.

Making forays into the ‘wearable technology”, Burton is selling the Clone Mini Disc Jacket, with an integrated Sony mini disc player and a remote control sewn into the sleeve.
