I'm not surprised it's being done, what I'd rather like to see is where I can
buy a pair of Adidas with power connectors, and a matching pair of trousers
which will survive daily wear & tear, plus a dozen of wash cycles. DIY, all 
of it, is a rather nontrivial enterprise. (I don't even have a sewing machine).

Given how many people are walking around with headsets and cellphones on
their beltclips, there must be a small market for it out there.
