Burton Audex Jacket

Kicking off the winter sports season, Motorola and Burton Snowboards today announce the commercial availability of the Bluetooth-enabled Burton Audex Jacket Series.

The new Burton Audex jacket allows winter sports enthusiasts to experience seamless connectivity – at the touch of a button – from one environment to the next. The Burton Audex jacket was jointly developed by Motorola and Burton to bring wearable technology to active consumers.

At the centre of the Burton Audex jacket is a control panel located on the left-hand sleeve, allowing for simple and easy access to your incoming and outgoing calls, and music selections. Connect a compatible Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone to the panel wirelessly, while hooking up your iPod player via hidden, unobtrusive wires within the Burton Audex jacket. Speakers and a microphone are located in the hood for taking and making calls as well as listening to music.

It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the commercial availability of the Burton Audex Jacket Series and the furthering of our relationship with Burton via the emergence of TEAMMOTO,

Said Bruce Hawver, VP and Director, Companion Products Group, Motorola, Inc.

The Burton Audex jacket is the first in a line of products co-developed by Motorola and Burton. The next products, the Burton Audex Protective Gear, are expected to be available this month. The gear includes the Burton Audex Helmet and Burton Audex Padded Hat, both equipped with Bluetooth stereo headphones, featuring easy-to-use control buttons for convenient and wireless on-the-go talking or music listening.
