Waterproof devices are becoming more common in the recent years, be it phones, portable media players, or any other thing you can think of. With that being said, MP3 players that can resist to water, like the uBanana uCan, are always welcome.
The special feature on the uCan is that owners don’t need to wear “real” headphones, in other words - there are no cords or cables. Basically you just strap it to the back of your head, and you’re good to go. Another interesting detail is the ability to float when it goes underwater, so it becomes easier to find and retrieve it.
The battery can last for 15 hours playing non-stop music, but since it only has 1GB of internal memory, I guess some songs will get repeated.
Priced at $154 and already available for pre-order.
Angled as for general sports use as well as for swimming, the gadget is waterproof down to 3 metres.

2Just taken a look at the website for this product and have to say it is just what I have been looking for. I do an awful lot of water sports and if this product does everything it says it does than I’m definitely going to be ordering. I love the name - really catchy, and it looks fantastic too. Well done Ubanana!
