Sony’s new waterproof MP3 player looks kind of amazing. It gets a reported eight hours of battery life, which is cool if you’re running a couple of marathons or something, but the more useful bit is that it gets an hour of battery life out of just three minutes of charging. It syncs with iTunes or the PS3, or you can just drag and dump a bunch of songs onto it. It only has a 2GB/4GB capacity (good for ~500/1000 songs), which kind of sucks, but should be enough for trips to the gym. They’ll run for $US60/80 when they come out in August. [Sony]

Hopefully this one is actually waterproof. I might try again as they provided clear music while running with out an annoying headphone cord flapping around. the ear buds never fell out and came in three sizes.
