For a couple seconds there we couldn't quite figure out what we'd do with a waterproof portable TV to call our very own, since jogging through the rain while watching our favorite shows on
1seg seems a little bit melodramatic, but Sanyo says its aiming this LVT-WD40 thing at bathroom and kitchen usage, which makes a bit more sense. Features are pretty standard, the 4-inch LCD sports a 480 x 272 resolution, and Sanyo claims about six hours of battery life. Unfortunately, while the player can be used anywhere -- including being fully submerged in a bathtub -- its media capabilities seems to be more limited, since there's no media compatibility to speak of beyond the standard 1seg TV access. This one's selling on the 21st in Japan for 50,000 yen ($453 US).

You know, sometimes, when im in the shower, ive got better things to do than watch that damn magic bullett infomercial. Maby if you take your showers in the afternoon then it might be more usefull. Does it pack an AM/FM radio?
But hey.... if you drop this in the toliet while taking a crap, lol... it will survive but I'm not so sure you would want to keep it...
Not a good idea since they're changing everything into digital so getting tv signals over the airwaves might be impossible....
what about when im lounging in my pool on a raft?
or say i want to see how many 30 second commercials i can hold my breath for
you reckon the WD40 name was intentional? http://www.wd40.com/Brands/wd40_product_info.html
Keep in mind that this thing is completely useless in North America.
