Motorola, maker of pagers, has teamed up with wetsuit company Body Glove to
give obsessive communicators the chance to pick up pager messages while they are

waterproof and shockproof pouch for a pager. The BeepSuit has a transparent
window, so when surfers, snowboarders and bungee jumpers hear a bleep they can
instantly read their message.
