Just Motorola Phones?

It appears that this new jacket requires the owner to have a Motorola phone! Uh Oh! Big Mistake... No one is going to switch phones just to buy an expensive jacket. Motorola would make more profit if the jacket accepted all or most phones. Will Motorola use the brains they have in developing their new invention or will their ego and greed get the best of them?

Hip? Why doesn't MOTO INOVATE??

MOTO is so out of touch. Innovation equals hip. Not a stupid snowboard jacket they plan on selling in JUNE! How many units are they going to sell? Maybe 10? All this distraction to become hip.

Shortsighted marketing idiots running the company I guess. Great.

Wheres the innovation?? Well, there is none.

"Hang up and snowboard"

People have enough difficulties being coordinated on snowboards while walking or driving a car. I don't think throwing gravity and trees into the mix will help much.

Unless, of course, they're trying to re-introduce natural selection to the species. Then they're doing a great job.
