I was excited when it arrived and I played around with it last night and uploaded some music onto it (very simple actually, just dragged some iTunes files across into the right folder). So I was looking forward to testing it out in the pool this morning.
I started the music, put the headphones into my ears, pushed off from the side and … nothing. It had fallen off my shorts and out of my ears and was at the bottom of the pool.
A bit less exciting.
So, I’ll play around with it a bit further and hopefully have a full review to post soon.
Great Blog! I have a water proof casing for my Ipod and its a great experience, although there were a couple of things I had to get used to. Firstly, as you said, getting the earpieces to stay. I just fiddle till they fit right and tuck them under my cap. Secondly, I use a second strap to hold it onto my arm, otherwise it flaps around a bit. I also found when swimming fast, its a bit annoying so I don’t bother. I assume your design is slightly different. Let me know how you enjoy it!
Thanks. To be honest I’ve not yet got used to the MP3 player and haven’t really used it at all. As it’s something new I’m not keen to break with the system I know works and just get in and swim, so I’ve been holding off. Then when I did take it to the pool the other it had no power left! I will try and use it a few times, so I’ll let you know.
