SeV debuts ipod-enabled shirts

ScotteVest (SeV) today unveiled the SeV Performance T-Shirt, its new line of shirts that combine the company's patented system of Technology Enabled Clothing with performance fabric. The shirts allow users to carry and use an iPod while guarding against moisture. The SeV Performance T-Shirt incorporates a patented "Personal Area Network" and "Weight Management System," allowing a specially designed pocket to hold most commonly used devices without affecting the neckline. The pocket is lined with special fabric that helps hold its shape and prevent chafing, while a hidden loop manages earbud wires. The long and short sleeve shirts -- currently available in black with more colors planned -- are made from 3M Quick Dry, a material designed to draw moisture away from the body. The short sleeve SeV Performance T-Shirt is priced at $30, while the long sleeve version retails for $35. The new shirts are scheduled to ship June 1st.

iPod replaces DJs at weddings

Many engaged couples are turning to iPods and other portable music players as an alternative to hiring disc jockeys or bands at their wedding receptions, according to a new report. "Many of our brides and grooms are catching on to this trend," Kathleen Murray said, senior editor for online wedding publisher TheKnot.com. "A lot of it has to do [with] the costs of weddings are increasing these days... For some, music may not be as important to spend the huge budget on as flowers or food." Weddings in the U.S. on average cost $25,000, but the total tab can be triple that amount in urban areas, according to MarketWatch. "It also gives them the chance to put their own personal spin on it," Murray said. "They can have so much fun putting together the ultimate play list, getting suggestions from friends and family members."
