Finis SwiMP3

Juniper Foo | Oct 26, 2004

Ready for some underwater music? We don't mean the piped-in swimming pool variant, but an MP3 player that actually conducts the entire sonic experience through your cheek bone to the inner ear. As an island where almost everyone learns to swim from young, this should come as a boon to relieve the tedium of swimming up and down lanes. The aquatic SwiMP3 (pronounced "Swim-P-3") is, naturally, fully waterproof and seems held in place by the bundled goggle straps. We're not entirely sure how it's powered, but the 128MB flash device is rated for 30 songs and 4 hours of continuous music--good enough for a solid workout in the pool, and then some.
