      Clothes Going Digital

      Here is Northeast, winter means coats and sweaters. And that means plenty of pockets for our growingstock of digital gadgets1. Summer, by contrast, isvirtually a pock-free zone. No pockets in T-shirts. Nopockets in gym shorts. Those few pockets that are available quickly become crammed2 withgadgets. Mobile phone, pagers, personal digital assistant, MP3 player or CD player, digitalcamera: It's enough to rip3 your pants as you walk down the hallway or through the parkinglot. Attempts have been made to help redistribute this load, but with meager4 success.

      One approach involves clipping the devices to a belt. Cell phones and pagers often go this way. A belt offers handy access when the phone rings or the pager goes off. But gadgets gatheredto belt can become uncomfortable when you sit. A variation on the beltcarrier approach isthe"fanny pack". This often involves zippers or clasps that can make it difficult to reach for aringing telephone. An even bulkier option is the common backpack. Vulnerable5 to theft, it'sable to hold quite a pile of electronic gear. Fashion alert: Backpack users look like they're still incollege.

      Designers have been puzzling over this problem for a while and at last one company has comeup with a possible solution. Called the" Scott eVest", it's a lightweight vest with more than adozen pockets. Wearers have plenty of room for mobile phones, PDAs, CD players and muchmore. Better yet, a build-in wiring system — called a PAN, for " personal area network"— allowswearers to use their gadgets in addition to carrying them about.

      Connect the mobile phone to the PAN, for example, and you can answer a phone call by puttingin your earpiece and pressing a button through the vest's fabric. Similarly, the wiring systemkeeps the headphones for your CD player in place and ready for instant use. Beyond gadgets, the vest has pockets for keys, a pen and even a" cup holder"pocket for beverages.
