Does anyone actually wear these things? The FCC has outed the Motorola (NYSE: MOT) O ROKR Pro Bluetooth sunglasses on their web-site. Seriously, the Motorola O ROKR Pro Bluetooth headphone sunglasses look similar to the Oakley Thumps there were such a fantastic flop. Motorola’s joint venture with Oakley to develop sunglasses with built-in headphones seems to be more of a whimsical exercise in design than a real seller. But, to the O ROKR’s credit, the awkward MP3 player that bulged out from the side of the Oakley Thump is been replaced with a more sleek Bluetooth module.
The O ROKR Pro’s are designed to work with a Bluetooth connection to stream music from your handset, and supports AVRCP for controlling your music from the sunglasses. The shades also double as a wireless headset, so that’s a definite plus. Up-time is claimed to be 5 hours after a full charge.
Pricing and availability is not yet known. We’ll keep you updated.

Um, no offence, but the attempted English in this story leaves me wondering what the heck Will is talking about.
