SwiMP3 Surf lets you rock the waves, remain dateless

We've seen a number of waterproof headphones and MP3 players come and go -- even a couple from the likes of SwiMP3, which is rolling out its new Surf. Featuring a waterproof housing rated up to 25 feet and matching waterproof in-ear headphones, it looks like the designers tried to make up for the paltry 256MB of memory and chubby £99 ($119 in the States) price tag by making the Surf as hideously ugly as possible -- at least it'll keep the sharks away.

Do you wear it on your forehead?

I always liked Papa... er, sorry. Read the article title too fast and saw purple. Thought this was a story about Smurfs.

Anyone else see the ridiculous mispricing? $119 vs £99? Either that should read $199 or it costs almost £40 ($80) more in the UK!

The article doesn't specifically say that it is simply a conversion. It may just be more expensive after exchange rates.

Much better than Freestyle audio's and H20 audio is a cheap housing for an ipod. This seems like a happy medium and who surfs for more than 10 hours at time anway? I wish. The armbadn looks functional and durable. I want to try it out.

I prefer the Swimman (www.swimman.com). While the cord is a little long for swimming laps, it is essentially a waterproofed iPod shuffle (2nd Gen).

Yeah I've used the swimmann and it just isn't as durable as I would like. When surfing, wake boarding and kayaking I need something hardcore. Swimman just doesn't cut it. Ordered my SiMP3-Surf today.
