Swimpod

The ipod is cool and making news everyday. ipod nano,ipod shuffle and a lot more creativity and designs. There are other music players folding the market. With disk space ranging from 256 MB to GBs. Ppl listen to music while on the move,while jogging, while driving, or just sit back and listen. While doing my laps in swimming pool, I was just wondering if there were a swimpod then it will be great. Music while swimming. May be it will add a few laps to the workout. Now while considering a gadget which is to be used underwater there are few things which are a must.
Water Resistant, that's the most important thing.
Earplugs which fit properly and water should not get into them. May be airtight earplugs.
Battery life.
Accessories :- While swimming you will just be in your swimming undies, and your whole body is making moves. So a comfortable place where the swimpod can be placed and won't detach with water friction or movement by the body.
One idea would be to fit the whole gadget to the cap, so that it will use the least wires for earplug and won't interfere with any movable part of the body, most important being the hands.
A cordless earplug might be handy, but will add cost to the swimpod.
If the swimpod is to be attached to the swimming undie then, a wire will run through the body to the ears, which might interfere in swimming. So additional accessories is to be supplied so that it fits the body and stays there.
A small remote control fitted to your palms with the basic functions of volume control, mute, changing tracks etc.
Specially designed swimming undie to which the swimpod can be attached.

Just an idea, Think beyond possibilities.
