The mighty iPod might be able to handle just about anything except getting wet. So, any music-loving swimmers will tell you the new Ubanana uCan waterproof MP3 player is their new best friend. The uCan - made specifically for water sport - has a behind-the head design so that the gadget doesn't get into the way while doing laps. The DAP can float on water for easy retrieval, and it can survive up to 10 feet underwater in case you decide to do some free-diving. uCan's controls are all on the back along with the USB rechargeable battery that can last for about 15 hours. The player is also screen-less, but we reckon few would need to check the ID3 tags during the full-body workout. $150 may seem very steep for a mere 1GB even with its waterproof & nifty design. In any cases, uCan won't ship until shortly after Independence Day. Powered by CNET Shopper.com
