A couple days, I wrote about a sonic bathtub. As cool as it sounds to use water as the resonance material to hear your music, a brand new tub is out of reach for most people.
Thanks to Victor, a division of JVC, a new floating MP3 player called XA-AW33-W or the "Healing Player" for short is on its way into production. The cone shaped player has a USB port to load up to 256MB of music. MP4, WMA and even DRM-WMA files are supported. Sonically, sound is reproduced visually by rippling water and blue LEDs. The effect is supposed to be good enough for indiscriminate audiophiles and like its namesake - healing.
The whole think runs off 4 AAA batteries (use Sanyo Eneloop!) which is good for 15 hours of playback. Not sure exactly when it'll hit the market but a price has been released, only $169.
