Since you can't take your
iJoy ZipConnect chair everywhere you go, OSIM has a portable solution to your "musical therapy" needs. Boasting a stylish enclosure and a pair of massage modules, the
iGoGo DAP performed its therapeutic magic surprisingly well -- once the kinks were worked out, that is. Reviewers at CNET were quick to praise the uniqueness of the device, but didn't hesitate to knock the "disappointing monochromatic interface, meager 128MB of internal storage," and the complete inability to play back any format besides MP3. While you can add a few more playlists via the MMC slot, they would've preferred a more expansion SD / CF option; furthermore, the player only mustered about 7 hours of battery life with massage mode in full effect. The crew noted that the "massagers suffered from frequent connection drops," but when things went smoothly, they provided a "truly blissful and relaxing massage experience." Still, for over $400 the iGoGo sports too many archaic features to be considered a true contender, and if
relieving stress is your primary concern, you may be better off spending that coin in a day spa.

OSIM owns brookstone now.
it surely is an interesting concept
It had better come bundled with 'I Touch Myself'.
Seriously, I see how little those massage modules are and I just think ... tee hee hee ... *squirm* o.O;;
imagine that to "Sex Bomb" lol
I'm surprised it has as much battery life, at 7 hours. Running two massage paddles has got to be a battery-intensive operation!
Cool that the massage paddles are wireless. And that the massaging action is sync'd with the music.
