Finis has developed an underwater MP3 player, called the SwiMP3.1G. Now you think that is cool, wait for it...there are no ear phones! Instead of listening through your ears, you will be listening through your bones. And no, it is not the magic of milk that is doing this (although milk does a body good), but a new technology called Bone Conduction. Since music usually gets muffled underwater, Finis has developed bone conduction technology that sends sound vibrations through the cheek bone to the inner ear for the best quality of sound. What an amazing invention! If you want to swim faster, you can play the theme song from Jaws or from Rocky; and if you want to reenact The Little Mermaid (which I know you do), you can listen to the soundtrack. The newest model of SwiMP3.1G gives the user 1G of storage (approximately 250 songs) and a new sleek design that can easily be strapped onto one's goggles. It plays MP3 files as well as WMA files, so you can actually read a book while swimming! Well, technically it would be you listening to a book being read by another person while you swam. Same difference though. This invention has already been added to my Christmas list. It is best to start early in my opinion.

Inventions that make exercising fun are always winners. If you have an invention that will revolutionize the way we exercise, send a prototype to me Danni first, then get some patenting advice. What? I am still working off the Turkey from Thanksgiving and need all the help I can get!
