'The Burqini' - a Muslim woman's swimsuit

In a lycra revolution, a cover-all swimming costume is bringing Muslim women on to Australian beaches as lifeguards, unzipping racial tensions which divided parts of Sydney little over a year ago.

The two-piece "burqini", popular in the Middle East, is proving key to a reshaping surf lifesaving -- once a bastion of white Australian culture and still a heartland of the country's sun-bronzed, heroic self-myth.

"I am Australian so I always have the Australian life style, but now with the burqini it just allowed me to participate in it more. We used to always go to the beach, but now that I have the burqini I can actually swim," said Mecca Laalaa, 22.

Its freakin brialliant. Take a product already available in the market name it something else and sell it to a niche market.

Thats what marketing is mostly about creating markets for products that didn't existed before just watch look at Blackberries.
In today's day and age when there is way too much mediums of communication why exactly do we need another one?
But hey thats just me apparently Blackberries are a completely new devise. Yeah sure its a cell phone in a palm pilot thats not freakin new.
