We saw a bloke on the tube earlier wearing wireless Bluetooth headphones. They were SonyEricsson ones, big square things with flashing blue lights. He looked a numpty.
This recurring problem is why we got all a-tizzy last week when it looked like Apple had bought WiGear, maker of 'iMuffs' Bluetooth wireless headphones designed for Apple iDevices. It looked like easy-to-use, not-stupid-looking wire-free headphones might be finally on the horizon.
Tell you what - the next time you catch your wire on something and your earphones fly out of your ears, you write to Steve Jobs demanding wireless 'phones from Apple; we'll do the same; and hopefully it'll happen anyway.
