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.[Via Tech Digest]
SwiMP3 v2: Bone conducting underwater MP3 player gets an upgrade
It's taken 'em nearly three years to get around to it, but Finis have a new version of their SwiMP3 underwater MP3 player coming out. Like the original, the SwiMP3 v2 uses bone conduction, rather than regular earphones, to transmit sound directly from your cheek bone to your inner ear (it all sounds a little creepy, but bone conduction is pretty much the best way to listen to stuff underwater). Version 2 of the SwiMP3 is a little smaller and sleeker than the original, though it still doesn't have all that much storage -- even after two-and-a-half years they've only managed to bump the SwiMP3 from 128MB up to 256MB. Still, with a specialized player like this you really only need enough music for your swim, right?
