The iPod suit

This is not just any iPod suit it's Your M&S iPod suit. Gimmick; marketing hype; useful gadget?

I've no idea, but the idea of buying a new suit because it will control my iPod seems to be missing some sartorial point. How long before it's out of date? As soon as the iPhone hits the UK market - cue the iPhone suit?

FYI M&S describes this elegant piece of tailoring like this:

In classic black pinstripes, our new iPod suit is perfect for music lovers who don’t want to compromise their professional look.
The wool rich suit contains a strategically placed iPod pocket which houses the connector without bulges, while the ‘smart fabric’ control pad on the inner lapel lets you operate the iPod without touching the main controls. Carefully placed loops along the lapel help conceal the earphone wires.

The price: £149.00 but if you're feeling a bit skint you can buy the jacket for a mere £90.00
