In Brief
Holiday Collective creates a limited-edition storage device that works with countless mobile devices.
eBay has decided to make wearable tech more fashionable by teaming up with the Council of Fashion Designers of America to create a bracelet that will charge your iPhone 4/4S and transfer data from one device to another. The online retail giant more specifically called on the talents of five designers: Mara Hoffman, Michael Bastian, Milly, Rachel Zoe and Shipley & Halmos.
Each bracelet also comes with an Apple adapter for the iPhone 5 and is compatible with iPods, Android smartphones and BlackBerry devices that use a micro USB connector. While it might seem pretty similar in nature to the upcoming iWatch, there are no official connections.
