Completely unnecessary

I must point out some things that simply should not be. At times combined functionality is a good thing--fax + printer, radio + alarm clock, aloe + moisturizer. Often though integration just means expensive gear upgrades and more clutter rather than less as one function breaks down, but the other remains totally usable, e.g. answering machine + phone or VCR/DVD + TV. That said, I confess to being recently obsessed w/the Treo and it's PDA, phone, web browser, portable music, camera, camcorder, microwave, car and washer/dryer integration.

But there are some things that belong in the realm of CompleteltyUnnecessary Integration:

-- All in one condiments = swirled jelly + peanut butter; cheez whiz + salsa; jam + cream cheese
-- Jay-Z + Linkin Park
-- Tom Cruise + Katie Holmes
-- ipod + clothes

On that last point, Nike recently introduced a shoe that allows runners to connect a speed and distance monitor to their ipod nano. Levi's designed a pair of jeans with built in controls and a supposedly hip looking tether for the ipod. Burton has a $450 snow jacket with headphones and ipod interface. Peoples peoples...ever heard of pockets or disconnecting from your ipod for a second? I loves me some Apple products, but the ipod proliferation is starting to creep me out.
