MP3 players go underwater. And with all new sound technology. The Finis SwiMP3 is an underwater digital audio player. The pioneering bone conduction technology has been used by this system that helps sound to travel from the cheek bone to the ear. Sounds really innovative? So it is. The clarity one gets through the Finis SwiMP3 is much better then any other underwater MP3 player which gives a muffled sound underwater. The system comes with a 128MB memory to ensure you have enough music down there. The product does not work too well in deep waters. So its going to be a hit with the lappers may be the divers have to wait a little bit more. It would be out for sale at $180.

The success of the Amazon would be advanced multifold if its talks with four global music companies materialize. The Amazon brand audio players would be the device to listen to the music that comes out of this contract. In doing so Amazon would be setting up shop with their own iTunes Music Store competitors. The plan is to bring the tracks on the device preloaded. The subscription to this device would bring a lot of customers to Amazon and a discount on other CDs to the subscribers may be in the deal.

This may be the latest in security system, but its effectiveness is being questioned. The Alladin Biodynamic reader is based on the body’s ‘BioDynamic Signature’ comprising of the heart beat and other ‘intrinsic human electro-biometric dynamic signals’. It sounds very innovative as it has used something not conceived before. By placing the fingertip to the system it checks the heart beat and the fingerprints. This combination sounds difficult to break and so its crack seems to be difficult. It sounds as an ambitious product and its practical use is yet to be seen in the market. Hope this proves to be that foolproof gadget.

SANYO is up to challenge the MP3 market with its two latest recorders in their Diply line of recorders. The shape might be odd but the features covers fro them well. The ICR-S340RM has a gigabyte of sound space that means you can record non stop for 140 hours. The miniSD card slot makes it all the more user friendly. On the other part of the story is the ICR-S270RM, which has a compromised space of 512 MB and also does not have the removable storage facility. The looks have been made different by making the unit stand tall while in function. The USB 2.0 plug helps it in doing do. At $280 for the S340 and $170 for S270 it seems Sanyo is going to make it big.
