Waterproof Mp3 Player - Indestructible!
November 19, 2007 — johnegg
I was browsing a site at work today looking for decent Mp3 players that aren’t the overhyped iPod, there’s a lot of stuff out there that just doesn’t seem to cut it - which I think is one of the primary reasons that the iPod has done so well, its not that Apple are extremely advanced in their Mp3 player technology, its that everyone else is extremely behind!
I do a good amount of sport, I swim on a regular basis and do a good deal of running, so unfortunately I’ve already been through a good 5 iPod Nano’s - so I was browsing for a sports Mp3 player that, although not as stylish, might put up with a little more rigorous treatmeant.
I came across a site called H20 Life, who sell a lot of other crap like air purifiers and water purifiers, but they also carry a waterproof Mp3 player. Not a big deal, I hear you say, been done before - but take a look at the videos on their site! This thing can be dropped off the roof of a building, with an iPod Nano (which smashes) and it is still perfectly in tact. Nice.
They also fire it out of a spud-canon, which, if you aren’t familiar, is essentially a big pipe designed to shoot potatoes at high velocity. The waterproof Mp3 player however, appears to be more than just waterproof, as it takes this onslaught of abuse without even a scratch. Impressive.
I think I might have found a little early Christmas present for myself, we shall see.
