Apple shocked the nation with the first waterproof MP3 player. They are still working on a portable version of the aquapod, but it won't double as a canoe. The Zune is expected to reach ocean depths of over 100 meters, and still function as a diving weight if nothing else. Certain MP3 tracks such as "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley have frequencies high enough to cause painful pressure waves in the noses of sharks.

I tried searching but could not find a thread related except for this one... So.. who's got a Zune yet? I got one for christmas and I really like it. It's much better than the ipod.. Not only the screen is bigger, But the software is much easier to use.. also, The FM radio feature is great.. Chek it out is really worth it.. anyone else ??

I live in the UK and got mine imported, I then installed a 60gb hard drive in it! lush! I have a few guns concerts from this year awesome quality, easier to use than ipod and better everything. I love the wifi and looking forward to it being cracked soon. so i have 5000 plus songs 1300 pics and 40 simpsons episodes. I have half the hard drive left!
