Tired of the tie just being some subtle phallic symbol with which to flaunt it to the ladies? Well now you can get some real use out of your tie. A British designer has just released the ipod tie and its on sale now.

Thomas Pink, the British shirt brand has released the 'ipod tie' in a range of colours. Officially called the Commuter Tie, it hides the ipod on the inside and keeps the wires out of view.

"The music player is placed in the pocket to avoid having expensive devices on display or damaging the line of one's suit," the company said in a statement. The company went on to say that the advancement of technology had transformed the modern commute but had left us in a dilemma - how to stylishly wear gadgets whilst keep them hidden out of sight.

Thomas Pink helpfully suggest ten tracks on their website to get you to work with your brand new Commuter Tie. Another ten tracks are listed for your enjoyment on the way back home.

The tie is priced at £55 (c. $70).

This could be a great development or a truly hideous fashion disaster. It would be great if you manage to listen to your ipod during company meetings. It could be a disaster the minute men start using the pocket for phones, money, cigarettes and keys. There will only be a short time delay until men manage to squeeze the iphone into that pocket, leading to great big clunking squares in the middle of the tie.

What about women? Are they doomed to live in technologically backward fashion creations? We're still amazed nobody has come up with a viable storage bra.
