I saw another small story today on the new Oakley glasses with an mp3
player built in to the arm. They seem to be pushing them for a December
release over here. They seem a bit pointless but I expect they aren't
designed for people actually doing sport.

There's a nice video about these glasses being used by the riders in this
year's T de F. The US Postal team were using them while warming up.

I don't know. I always use an MP3 player when running. That said, I
generally run at night to avoid the rest of the joggers / public so
sunglasses would be of little use to me.

I'm not suggesting people don't use mp3 when doing stuff but that tying
the mp3 player and the glasses together is a bit pointless. If you knacker
the glasses you knacker the mp3 player, that for me would be reason to
separate the two out....

....as is this. They just seems a bit gimmicky.

The dark filter bit flips up out of the way.

Had a look at that video and they seem to cover both ears,
now I don't know about others but I feel a tad cocooned if
I can't hear what is going on around me ( would hate to be deaf)
and for that reason when I listen to music (on paths/trails ) I only
ever have one ear covered and don't listen to music at all on
trafficed roads.

I'm not sure that most owners of an F-16 would let you fly one if you
were listening to your MP3 player at the time. ;-)
