Most electronics as we know it are extremely sensitive - a simple fall to the ground results in two sounds, that of the screen and your heart shattering into a million pieces upon impact. The Freestyle Audio MP3 player is much tougher than that, featuring shock-resistant parts to keep it going even after many an accidental drop. Unfortunately, the features seem to have remained in flash-based memory players from the early part of this century with a mere 512MB of internal memory, taking much glamor and shine off its waterproof and buoyant features. With a recommended retail price of $199.95, that's virtually daylight robbery - shockproof or not.
