To make this wet task more amusing, H2O Audio came up with the iSH waterproof headset, which is made for specific iPod models – Shuffle Gen 2 and 3.

As expected, the headset is able to work up to 10 feet underwater, which seems more than enough. You can either use it with your own swim goggles, or pick the included sportband.

In the end you get to listen to your favorite tunes while swimming, in a comfortable way. For $80 it can be yours.

Fingertip access and full control of the Shuffle’s circular control pad.

PS – there is a case somewhere in the middle to protect the iPod.

Did you ever want to swim and be able to listen to music (via headphones) at the same time? There are some waterproof MP3 players capable of achieving this task, but if you want to look cool (read like a freak) you will need the H2O Audio Swimbelt plus some of its friends.

Basically you’ll be using a combination that consists of the so called swim belt ($40) in which you can place your iPod, a waterproof case ($80) to protect the player, and waterproof headphones ($40). With these 3 products, you’ll be ready to swim and dance simultaneously.

The whole package costs $160 and is available at h2oaudio.

The special skateboard comes with a small electric motor that is able to reach a maximum speed of 11mph, or 17 km/h. The battery life can hold up to 7 miles, and takes 6 hours to do a full charge.

Priced at $290, the Skatemaster can be considered the skateboard for lazy people, but you can’t pull cool tricks with it.

If golf is your favorite sport and walking from hole to hole carrying the caddie makes you tired, pay attention to the Stewart Golf X3R – a remote controlled caddie that some people like to call “the fairway Ferrari”.

With a single charge, the included battery is enough to live up to 8 miles, which means an estimated number of 27 holes. The remote control has a working-limit-range of 42 meters, and it allows you to control the speed and direction of the caddie.

Features exceptional all-terrain maneuverability, with powerful motor, integrated anti-tip wheel and high-grip tires.

Priced at $2,000.

The throw and catch game with your dog can be a lot of fun, in the meanwhile you get tired when constantly throwing the ball. If that is a familiar problem just get the Hyperdog Ball Launcher and all your worries will disappear.

This peculiar system can shoot each ball up to 200 feet, is it enough running exercise for your dog?

The whole package includes 2 tennis balls in case you or your dog loses one, and besides that there isn’t much more information available.

Features hands-free pickup for a slobber-free fetch session and a collapsible arm for storage.

Price? $30

Another day and another USB drive has been presented, this time thanks to Verbatim and their Store ‘n’ Go models.

As the name suggests this “Corporate Secure” model is suppose to add security to your data, so instead of the normal plug-and-play system that all USB drives have and lets anyone access important files, the Verbatim Secure is different because:

Prompts a user periodically for a third password as an extra precaution. And after 10 unsuccessful attempts to log on, the drive is locked down.

There are models for companies that for an extra price get an unlocking system, and models for normal users that don’t have that opportunity to reset the password in case it gets lots in the memory valleys.

Price? Starts at $65 for 1GB but there are 2GB and 4GB versions too.

As the title suggests:

Snow element + Scooter vehicle = a thing called Snowscooter.

It was presented today by JK Sports and it’s suppose to be the next big hit in terms of sports during the winter.

They say that the strange Snowscooter is easy to use and maneuver, just use it like it was a bicycle and you’re good to go. But I’m finding it a little bit too hard to believe how safe can this be when someone is going at full speed and a tree gets in the way – it doesn’t look too easy to turn right or left.

Anyhow, it does look pretty sweet and I seriously can’t imagine the fun I would have while “driving” the Snowscooter, maybe it’s easy to make a DIY project similar to this one but I don’t have the tools nor weather to make use of it.

This is actually a product that makes the whole “throw & catch” game with your dog easier.

Instead of throwing the ball with your hand like you usually do, just use this cub to easily launch the tennis ball up to 100 yards or more depending on how you use it/how strong you are.

At the same time you can practice your golf swing so that is a 2-in-1 activity which is good for 2 animals = the owner and the dog.

The balls are custom-sized and the product that costs $20 includes four of those dog tennis balls.

I know that you have always wanted to use something like a hands-free camera while doing your weekly extreme sports routine, I also know that you tried to create one of these cameras but the project died after the first try.

So, here you have the Action Sports Hands-Free Camera (helmet not included) to have video memories of those special snowboarding moments, it’s a tiny camera that can be clipped to a helmet and record at a 30 frames-per-second rate. The data goes inside the small 32MB of internal memory but there is an option to expand the memory to 2GB with a SD memory card.

The maximum length you’ll be able to record while making use of the internal memory is 16 minutes (with a 640 x 480 resolution) which is not so bad. Besides video features, the camera is also able to take photos, more exactly 400 photos using the internal memory.

You have 2 options to export the captured video to other devices:

• replay to a TV by using the RCA cable
• transfer to a computer by using the USB cable

Price: $130

The Plug n’ Play Skateboarding is nothing but a cool skating simulator game, instead of only pressing some buttons and do cool tricks like it happens on Tony Hawk, you’ll ride a real skateboard with this new system.

Besides being able to pick from different difficulty levels, there are also three virtual scenarios to do your tricks.
It comes with a small hand console to control speed and tricks, but it doesn’t come with the 4AA batteries that are required.

How does it work?
Like the name suggests, just plug the skateboard into the TV and play.

Available at iwantoneofthose for $72.
