MP3 Players: Oregon Scientific MP121
In what’s possibly a first, Oregeon Scientific - who specialize in products for people who really like to get out and about - have seen many people use MP3 players while walking or running so taken the opportunity to combine a pedometer with an MP3 player - and made it waterproof to boot.

The business of marketing MP3 players is getting to be more difficult all the time, particularly if you’re not selling iPods.
