From Surf to Snow - H2O Audio Enables iPod mini to Endure All Elements

Nov. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- H2O Audio, the leader in waterproof MP3 technology, today announced the launch of the H2O Audio SV-iMini, the first fully waterproof and submersible housing for Apple's iPod mini. The SV-iMini includes a unique dial and push button assembly for use underwater providing full access to the iPod mini's proprietary Click Wheel controls.

Watersports enthusiasts can now take their iPod mini with them while participating in sports such as wakeboarding, surfing, snowboarding, swimming and kayaking. H2O Audio's patented waterproof headset is lightweight and designed to stay securely fastened through the wipeouts, flips and turns endured by today's surfers, snowboarders and wakeboarders.

"Having music in the water is simply amazing," said Peter Mel, professional surfer and world-class big wave rider. "Big props to H2O for creating a product that could be the biggest technological advancement in surfing since the short board."

Designed for extreme wear and tear, the new H2O Audio SV-iMini includes H2O Audio's durable waterproof housing featuring easy-to-use controls and a comfortable waterproof headset. Patented technology allows the device and headphones to play clear music both in and out of the water.

"Apple's iPod mini has made waves in popular culture," said Kristian Rauhala, CEO of H2O Audio. "Our SV-iMini lets customers enjoy their iPod mini in places they never before imagined, such as the ocean, ski slopes or swimming pool."
