The folks at Digital Trends have published a review of the Freestyle Audio Fusion DMP 512. The Freestyle Audio player has the unique characteristic of being both waterproof and shockproof – making it ideal for the active user out there. Key features of the player include:

• Waterproof up to 10 feet
• Shockproof
• 512MB of memory
• USB interface
• Built in rechargeable battery
• 30 hours playtime per charge
• Weighs less than 35 grams and floats
• Easy to use function buttons
• PC/Mac compatible
• Comes with waterproof earbuds
• Compatible with standard 3.5 mm audio jacks

Sounds good right? Well… here’s what Digital Trends thinks of the player:

My suggestion: if you need a waterproof mp3 player, buy an iPod nano and hook yourself up with a waterproof housing for it. There are plenty of waterproof housings available for under $30 USD, or about $60 complete with decent waterproof headphones.

Ouch…
