Somewhere at the intersection of James Bond gear and novelties you will find the Play Iboxer by Intimo. This relaxed fit, button-fly, 93% cotton boxer short showed up on the market in the past year, and in addition to promising comfort for the gym or "everyday wear," the makers have also included a low-slung front pocket allowing gadget enthusiasts to stow an iPod (or other MP3 player) or cell phone. The makers attest that the pocket is attached low enough to be out of the way when you sit down; let's just hope you plan to wear this with "relaxed fitting" trousers as well. Ouch.

On the other hand many friends and acquaintances of mine already keep their MP3 players on belt clips or in front pockets in order to keep track of them. Setting the humorous aspect of putting an MP3 player in one's pants aside, this is actually an ingenious concept for keeping crucial electronic gadgets, money or IDs safe during travelling, for instance in vacation spots known for pickpockets.
