“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 37 - A Finis SwiMP3
This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Dave.
On the Thirty-Seventh Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A Finis SwiMP3!
AAARRRGGGHH!! If it be treasure you be seekin’, look no further than the $150 Finis SwiMP3, a fine beauty of a water proof MP3 player. The SwiMP3’s hand-free design is perfect for SCUBA-diving treasure hunters who need to keep both hands free to fight both sharks AND octopuses.
The SwiMP3.1G is a waterproof mp3 player created with a unique innovative sound transfer technology that offers exceptional underwater sound clarity. The completely redesigned waterproof MP3 player utilizes bone-conduction technology to transmit high-fidelity sound underneath the water.
Standard players rely on the transmission of sound through air or water which causes the swimmer to perceive only muffled noise. Because the SwiMP3 uses bone conduction, the sound vibrations are able to be directly transferred from the cheek bone to the inner ear, giving the swimmer the ultimate sensory experience.
Yes, with the SwiMP3 you’ll be a veritable Aqua-Man, although hopefully you’ll choose a better costume.
To enter: Speaking of Aqua-Man, we all know if they ever make an Aqua-Man movie, it will be the greatest movie of all time and out-gross Avatar. But until then, we want to know, What’s your favorite movie of all time? Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to ALL READERS WORLD-WIDE. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!
Matt Damon has an iPad
Having lived in the Rhode Island/Boston area for 4 years, I guess I might find this funnier than it probably is, but hey, it’s iPad related, and you guys seem to be wicked into iPad stuff these days, so enjoy.
“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 36 - A Finis XtreaMP3
This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Steve.
On the Thirty-Sixth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A Finis XtreaMP3!
Whether you’re a surfer, swimmer, or just suffer from Hyperhidrosis, you’re going to love the Finis XtreaMP3. I don’t know about you, but I need my music with me constantly to give me that extra little non-illegal energy boost when doing anything even remotely physical, and something like this would really come in handy for those times I just feel like quitting half-way through a shower. and who knows? With the XtreaMP3, I might even be able to lather, rinse AND repeat!
XtreaMP3 - The Ultimate Sensory Experience
Take your music anywhere with the durable and completely submergible XtreaMP3 player. The shockresistant and skip-free MP3 player plays up to 240 songs (1GB memory) in high-quality surround sound. The small XtreaMP3 player attaches to a comfortable neoprene arm strap, allowing you to enjoy your favorite music hands free. Specialized waterproof earbuds secure tightly, making for clear listening in any extreme environment. The player is USB compatible and completely waterproof up to depths of 15 feet (4.5m).
The iPod isn’t the only MP3 player in the sea, and in fact, it fears the sea, and water in general. (Finis, feel free to use that awesome line in your marketing materials if you’d like). And just because this bad boy isn’t made by Apple, don’t go thinking it’s a POS. This thing costs about $150, and apparently kicks ass. Finally you can paddle your surfboard without fear of dropping your music!
To enter: Speaking of fears, we’d like to know, what is your greatest fear? Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to ALL READERS WORLD-WIDE. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)

Looks like SOMEBODY stayed up all night sewing
About 2 hours after the iPad was released, we began receiving press releases from various companies letting us know that they planned to offer a full line of iPad accessories. Some of these contained mocked up photos, some vague release dates, but today we were surprised to find that one company, Booq, claims they are actually SHIPPING theirs already.
First up is their Taipan sneak XS, a neoprene sleeve-like thing that no one would carry the way the guy in the picture is if it really had an iPad inside.
If you’re scared to go strapless, Booq also has the Taipan shadow X, a lightweight bag that quite frankly we suspect is really a netbook bag that their trying to pass off as iPad-friendly.
While all this speed in turning around product is nice, I’d be interested in seeing just how many people place orders for a case a full TWO MONTHS before the device is released. Although I assume anyone that WOULD might be able to use the case as a pillow for the two months they plan to spend sleeping outside their local Apple Store waiting for March.
