“Body. Music. In sync.” The concept of the BodiBeat strap-on MP3 player sounds cool: it adjusts tracks according to the pace you are jogging. The problem is we’ve heard of the BodiBeat two years ago and after eons of whatever refinements Yamaha has to introduce to the device it forgot to include a higher capacity memeroy. It’s still the 512 MB here from two years ago. Even then it was ridiculously small. Additionally, it clocks your running time and calculates calorie burn rate. It will be available in Japan with a price of 28,900 yen or $299, which hasn’t changed at all for two years.

BodiBeat features:

• 128 x 64 OLED display
• 75.7×38×20.1 weighs 65 grams
• 9 hours of music
• 512 MB memory
