Makes swimming laps a lot more fun!

My husband and I were given one of these for a joint Christmas present and we practically fight over it. It takes the monotony out of lap swimming. (If you are really serious about your pacing, you may not want it... just as real serious runners don't like the way music can control their pace). It stays in place nicely when swimming, and I have no trouble hearing the music. I can hear it very well the whole time my head is in the water. It doesn't hold a lot of music, but it is just enough for a swim workout.

It is fairly easy to load music and to charge the unit via the USB port. However, the cable connection is frustrating... it has some pins similar to keyboard connections, but the pins bend easily when you hook it up. I am afraid this might be a durability issue.

I would also like to see it become audible-compatible, so you could also listen to audiobooks on it.

Overall, amazing technology! Now I hate to go swimming without it.
