UK news site Ananova reports on an innovation that should go over very well in Southern California:

Computer chips that store music could soon be built into a woman’s breast implants.

One boob could hold an MP3 player and the other the person’s whole music collection.

BT futurology, who have developed the idea, say it could be available within 15 years.

BT Laboratories’ analyst Ian Pearson said flexible plastic electronics would sit inside the breast. A signal would be relayed to headphones, while the device would be controlled by Bluetooth using a panel on the wrist.

According to The Sun he said: “It is now very hard for me to thing of breast implants as just decorative. If a woman has something implanted permanently, it might as well do something useful.”

Tech site The Register, happily ignoring the possibility of playback and remote control via Bluetooth, commented:

Quite how playback is achieved we’re not quite sure, but it may well involve the listener burying his or her head in the cleavage for a full stereo effect.

Likewise, God alone knows how you select tracks, but breasts do come equipped with a pleasing alternative to the iPod’s selector wheel.

We really look forward to the demo.

No word on the availabilty of the the real breakthrough product, the video iBoob, with “Desperate Housewives” downloads available 24×7. If a woman wanted her man to pay attention to her, she could just put on “Monday Night Football.”
