The Speedo LZR Racer suit literally made a splash at the Beijing Olympics last year with 23 world records broken by athletes who had donned the full body swimsuit. While we probably won't see Michael Phelps wearing the Aquabeat at competitions soon, the American swimming sensation may be pleased to know that this underwater MP3 player has a successor--the LZR Racer Aquabeat--to accompany him on his leisure swims.
There aren't many changes on the design front, though the color scheme of the waterproof player now matches the LZR Racer suit, has twice the storage (2GB) and supports MP3 and WMA formats. It will also hit depths of up to 3m, and when detached floats right up to the surface so you won't lose it underwater. There's no LCD display, although the controls are in striking red for visibility underwater. Continuous music playback goes up to 8 hours and the LZR Aquabeat now retails online at 12,800 yen (US$129) with taxes included.
