Not yet, but they may be working on it. For now, skiers and riders who just can't live without tunes, a phone hookup with their fav bud or gal pal, or wireless Internet will just have to live with the Audex helmet. You knew it was coming. Now it's here and ready for use on your mountain. Should you worry? Check out the advertising lingo on the Motorola Web site: "Ride hard, and tune out, with the highest tech helmet to ever hit the mountain. Amping up your tunes or calling friends with the snow report is as simple as pressing a button." Words to make even the most jaded Techno-Head's pulse pound a little harder, sure. But do you want all those little zoomies burning up your mountain and "tuning out" while talking to Tiffany or Googling for a vegan burrito joint? Maybe not. But we'll have to wait till these guys hit the slopes next year to see how things shake out. The helmets, we are told, are flying off the shelves. « Previous Story | The Industry Report Home Page | Next Story » |
