We were actually confused at first. What was going on here? The Thump 2? It just doesn't look right. However, thanks to the magic of the Mulletinator, a new Photoshop plug-in we're testing, we're able see the Thump in its native habitat. It looks like the Thump 2 will look considerably different than we originally imagined and has better headphones than the Thump Uno. The 256MB version will go for about $299, allowing you to upload at least one Debbie Gibson album before you've cashed the memory. You're still not going to replace your iPod Nano with these things, but it appears Motorola and Oakley are finally getting the hang of this glasses/MP3 player thing.

SWEET! It looks totally awkward without the mullet though.... I wonder if they'll include the mullet in a package deal.
If they realy realy want to integrate somthing, why not just attach earpuds to the glasses. Let people use their own DAP. An MP3 player attached to sunglasses is just stupid. and ugly. sorta fugly, actually.
I must say, these glasses are still the ugliest glasses on the planet. If I wanted to look like some alien from Star Trek I can think of plenty less expensive ways of doing it.
I saw a fellow working at Sunglass hut wearing the Thump 1's. I asked why he would wear such an item and he explained that his boss made him.
If Oakley wanted to do something useful, they'd put Bluetooth in the glasses instead of the MP3 player, and let folks pick their own DAP. It wouldn't be any prettier, but it would be more usefull. PS That has to be one of the worst photoshopping jobs I've seen! I guess the mullinator is still in beta?
yes, the mullinator is v. v. top secret. adobe gave me a beta testing license but they're definitely still working on it. Soon we'll be able to recreate billy ray cyrus in seconds.
