Cell Phone Fashion Hits The Catwalk

In the past few years, the fashion industry has integrated a little tech into clothing and accessories, so it's able to connect to your iPod, phone, or other wireless devices. Laptops are getting colorful makeovers thanks to "skins," jackets now come with iPod controls, and hand-bags have special pockets for gadgets.   

Apparently there was a fashion show at CTIA, and CNET was on the scene capturing every moment of the "Fashion in Motion" show on video. You should watch it, if you're interested in these things. I've seen a lot of the items that made the show, but there were a few that were new to me.

Here's a list of mobile accessories you may hear about throughout the year:

• Panda Leash is an ultra-thin leash that attaches to the back of your phone or digital camera, securing it in case you drop it. You can personalize it by adding your own jewelry.
  
• ChattBags handbags are known for their clever placement of an outside pocket that fits a small mobile phone. A must have for any girl with a large bag. 
  
• e.Mos/eScent: e.Mos, a small bowling pin shaped wireless badge that detects and repels against mosquitoes, and eScent , a similar product that releases fragrances for therapeutic well-being. eMos releases small doses of insect repellent via a noise-activated sensor tuned to recognize the sound frequency of mosquitoes, while eScent responds to biological conditions with the delivery of scent in a conditions with the delivery of scent controlled, preventative, or responsive way.
