Get bored on deco?

I thought I would share this I have just purchased a 200ft/60m waterproof 128mb MP3 player from iriver for $40 + $28 to ship to Canada as they will not post to the UK being delivered to a friend

Damn it!

I just bought a set when they offerred the first round of clearance earlier in the year, but NOT at these rock-bottom prices though...

They are very good products, but didn't sell well because the mark-up was so high initially that killed them.

It'd be handy if they'd ship to anywhere other than North America...

When I bought mine, I had to have them shipped to a relative's address and then ship onward.

Perhaps you have a friend in the US or Canada ?

I have a 1Gb one that I will sell you champ. XMAS pressie that I have never used.

***sadave*** · 30th August 2006, 10:39

I do remember that one, in fact, I knew about it before you did...

less than $40US?

tomhanaway · 30th August 2006, 10:58

At this price, if I don't use it, I don't care.
Thanks for the heads up, just ordered two. I've got a regular 1g iriver for the gym and it's worked faithfully for over a year.

Just keep in mind iRiver no longer makes the ifp 300 series. So you are unlikely to be able to upgrade to a larger mp3 player. I have been looking for one and have thus far come up empty...
I got the 128MB player as a gift and it is great, but it can hold only about 1 hour of music. Kinda sucks if you have long dives over multiple days, but I suppose its better than nothing...

For longer deco just loop the music. If its an audio book listen to the first chapter again I guess. Not really worth purchasing an mp3 player that is only 128meg. Anything less than 512meg would be pretty worthless imho.
