What’s this? Yet another sports mp3 player? Not quite…

More like a mini revolution for those who practice sport to music, to my mind..
This summer,Yamaha are bringing out the Bodibeat . Basically, the Bodibeat is a 512 MB ,completely weatherproof, mp3 player.
But, crucially, it has a rather sophisticated built- in acceleration sensor that changes the tempo of your music to your running speed or exercise rate. All that in real time!
I have to say, it sounds rather impressive. That’s the theory. Now we have to see it in practice.
On the down side, the $299 price tag is quite high..
