The high fashion meets electronics company collaboration has claimed another victim as Giorgio Armani and Samsung have teamed up together on a new phone. Just recently Samsung also partnered with adidas on a new training system phone. The Giorgio Armani sports a slim 10.5 mm thickness with a bundle of features including a 3.0 MP camera, music player function and microSD card expansion. The phone will also come packaged with an exclusive leather case as well.
In a strategic partnership originally highlighted with the adidas x Samsungf110 mobile phone, adidas and Samsung have now moved forward with another step in their project. The miCoach represents a complex training tool for athletes of all levels as they strive to meet their athletic goals. Much like the competitors Nike + system, the miCoach will incorporate technology such as the aforementioned adidas x Samsung miCoach mobile phone and microchips in select adidas footwear to track progress and promote motivation. If you’re fat and out of shape, you’ll need more then some electronics to get you in the right direction. Available starting mid-March.

With fashion and electronics becoming a regular intersection, the concept once reserved primarily for high fashion labels has now manifested itself on a more casual level with an upcoming Samsung and adidas crossover called “My Coach”. Rumor has it that it will work like the Nike Plus system where your shoes will connect to the phone tracking your jogging stats. Although the slider phone lacks the necessary functions for power users, the phone does offer smart aesthetics as the balancing point. Look for it to release next month.
