Nike Hatphone Makes for Wishful Thinking or Smart Trademarking

If you recall, after the release of Apple’s ‘i’ products we saw copycats and URLs pop-up everywhere. This product seems to leverage the recent release of the iPhone, but this time they’ve opted for the latter half of the name. The Hatphone by Nike, is not a phone or an accessory for the iPhone, but an accessory to the iPod Nano (isn’t this so yesteryear?). Apparently you can store your nano in the hat, use what is a ‘power mesh window’ to access the Nano’s scroll wheel, and run the headphones direct to your ears without the cords dangling at your neck. Since this product seems a little ‘out there’ namewise, one’s gotta think they are making a move to simply protect a trademark much like Cisco Systems tried to do with the iPhone.
Men’s and women’s versions available here for around $60.

This review is stupid as can be. If you can’t understand that Nike in no way means this to be a telePHONE that you can call with but headPHONES then you are amazingly ignorant to details. It is obvious it is not a phone, and if your reviews are just paraphrasing other sites content then this site is lame and should not be indexed on Google. Become a true writer and put some of your own thoughts into it, assuming you did not think on this one.
If you did a little research you would see that Nike has a whole line of products that go hand in hand with the ipod nano… its called “Nike+”
This is a great product for runners, I use mine all the time in this cold weather.
This hat works great with my cell phone-the Sony Walkman. For hands free, music only, the nano works great. Found at a discount store for $7.
I just need to say that you are a complete idiot that should not be allowed on the internet…
