Bra Wired for Exercise
Exercise gear seems to be the most obvious point of entry for wired clothing, and now NuMetrex has done for the sports bra what Ford did for the horse and buggy. Sorta.
The company's sports bra is wired with tiny electrodes knitted right into the fabric, which are able to sense your heart rate. A tiny transmitter snaps into a small pocket in the front of the bra (bra with pockets!), and sends the information from the electrodes to a digital heart-rate monitor/watch on your wrist.
The bra itself is only $49, with a package bra-plus-transmitter-plus-watch deal going for a crisp hundred dollar bill (plus tax). You can even throw this most electronic of bras in the washing machine -- NuMetrex says you can rack up 100 machine washings with no effect on performance.
No pun intended.

This is a stupid product, and it's stupid to write an article about it. It doesn't deserve any publicity.
