The Unsinkable iPod mini

This falls into the ‘wow, I wouldn’t have thought of that’ category: a completely waterproof, submersible housing for your iPod mini. H2O Audio’s SV-iMini features a waterproof dial and push button assembly for controlling the iPod underwater. Underwater!

The accessory is targeted to watersports enthusiasts who want to bring their tunes with them while surfing, swimming, snowboarding, etc. I would worry about those folks getting distracted trying to find a playlist and getting creamed by a huge wave, though I guess it just adds another dimension to the thrill-seeking. Personally, I might seek the thrill of firing up my iPod in the shower. Note to self: tell H2O Audio about this untapped marketing potential latent in shower enthusiasts.

If you thought the U2 special edition iPod was quirky, just wait til the Jacques Cousteau iPod mini is unveiled…
