Is that a joystick in your watch-pocket, or are you just happy to see me? Levi Strauss, the company that makes the blue jeans you’re wearing right now, announced yesterday that they’re creating “iPod-ready” pants.

The so-called Levi’s RedWire DLX Jeans will feature “a joystick in the watch pocket to operate the device” along with a “built-in docking cradle” for the iPod and “retractable headphones.” No price was announced.

Depending on its location, the “built-in docking cradle” could spell the death of the Nano. All the kids will want old-school iPods for a bigger bulge.

Prediction: Next week, Apple announces the new iPud.
