Levi's launched a new denim smart jacket with Google's Project Jacquard technology. The Trucker Jacket allows users to interact with an Android device with a gesture or touch to their sleeve. Jacquard is a Google project built to experiment with fiber electronics. The Trucker Jacket looks like an average jean jacket but it contains a small electronic tag which connects to a section of conductive fibers, all built into the sleeve. The tag connects by Bluetooth to an Android smartphone, and the conductive fibers act as a touchpad. The Jacquard app lets users determine what the four different gestures, brushing in, brushing out, double-tapping, and covering the area, do.

Pixel Buds isn't just the name of my Android-centric group chat anymore -- they're Google's first attempt at a wireless headset, and they're pretty smart, too. It's not hard to look at them as the answer to Apple's surprisingly popular AirPods, but they're much more capable... as long as you don't mind a cord dangling behind your head. I'm told pairing with a Pixel is dead-simple -- just open the charging case, power them up, and you'll get a notification on the phone prompting a connection. Getting them in your ears is easy too, but nailing the fit takes a little extra work. Remember that cord I mentioned?
