  More iPod Clothing Compatibility Los Angeles, California fashion firm Kenpo Inc. recently announced their own iPod integration which comes just shortly after Levi's announced their iPod integrated jeans.

Kenpo's iPod-integrated jacket uses a patented fabric, ElekTex, which is composed of 5 layers of electrically conductive material to transform your jacket into a touchpad.

The jacket features a 5-button switch that allows you to Play/Pause, Skip Forward, Skip Back, and turn the volume up and down. Additionally, the jacket is self-powered and requires no batteries to operate.

Our Take:
It doesn't look like the trend of iPod integration into our everyday like is slowing down at all. If anything it may still have to hit its peak.

This integration seems more useful than not. The iPod Levi's freaked us out a little, not going to lie. Hey, maybe if Levi's had this fabric as an option they could have integrated it onto the outside of a pocket or something.

All-in-all, this product should be on the gift list for any iPod enthusiast. Number one, the integration is sweet and simple. Secondly, and more importantly, the jacket actually looks pretty cool.
