MP3 Player for swimming

[Crypticburn]

It feels as though I've been searching forever for an mp3 player that I can use while swimming.... I have found examples of players that *may* be comming out ( e.g. ), but I have yet to find one available.

Has anyone else desired this? Found a solution?

Edit: there is an FM Radio

Thanks!

Due to the problems associated with sealing the electronics and the speakers from water, it's not surprising that there are so few of these players. There are a few key areas I can think of that need to be protected from water:
- headphone jack (unless the headphones are integrated into the player)
- USB/memory port
- batteries, though I guess these could be made to take a charge from a USB port
- speakers - water directly on a speaker will affect its sound production drastically

So anyone looking at designing and producing such a device would need to counter these problems, in addition to one other - profit. They need to get a lot of sales to be able to keep the price low enough to attract buyers - sort of circular, but that's probably how it works.
Seeing how that article is only a few months old...well, I don't know if that goggle MP3 thing is even in mass production at all.
