BRIAN NELSON, CNN ANCHOR: And if you're a fan of cell phones, you might want try this one on size, a cell phone that you can wear. That's what CNN's Peter Humi recently spotted in Paris. Here's his report.</s>PETER HUMI, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Why is this man talking to himself? Actually, he's not; he's talking to his jacket.</s>HUMI: And his jacket, in turn, could be said to be talking to this man.</s>ANDRE WEILL (ph): The body of the telephone is here in this inside pocket. It's very simple. I have this button for having the line.</s>HUMI: The microphone is in the collar, the phone is voice- activated, and there's a keypad stitched into the lining. Which is all very well, but why bother slicing open a jacket and filling it with cell phone parts in the first place?</s>WEILL: The main reason is that we plan the phone will be integrated to lots of objects, usual objects.</s>HUMI: So it's not a fashion statement, although cell phones have been spotted on catwalks already this year. This jacket was bought off the rack. (on camera): The jacket, with the cell phone incorporated, is lightweight, less than 400 grams, or about 12 ounces -- the weight of an average steak. (voice-over): And speaking of food, Andre Weill predicts the future will see cell phones adapted for kitchen appliances.</s>WEILL: Oh yes, the cooker, the fridge.</s>HUMI: Researchers say the ultimate goal is to make the technology ubiquitous, hands-free and user friendly.</s>WEILL: I am calling home. Nobody is answering.</s>HUMI: Maybe he should leave a message, with his fridge. Peter Humi, CNN, Paris.
