Ultra Introduces Water-Resistant MP3 Players Starting at $39.99

October 24th, 2006 – Ultra Products, a global leader in technology solutions, announces the availability of the Hydra, the company’s new line of water-resistant MP3 players, just in time for the holidays. The Hydra, which supports MP3, WAV, ACT and WMA files, comes in a 1GB model starting as low as $39.99 and a 2GB model starting as low as $59.99. The affordable Hydra MP3 player is targeted to the active, but budget conscious consumer that likes to carry their music with them everywhere, including the airplane, the beach, the pool, the gym, hiking, jogging, or just walking around town. The Hydra will be on retailer shelves, on the web, and available to consumers on November 1st.

The vibrant Hydra MP3 players are lightweight (29 grams), comfortable and include an LCD display with a muli-color backlight for easy song selection. The players feature an FM radio tuner, digital voice recording capacity and pen drive storage functionality. One AAA battery is all you need to power the Hydra, which is great for those hiking/camping trips or long days at the beach where recharging your MP3 player is impossible. The Hydra also uses a drag and drop functionality via USB connection for transferring files and is compatible with the latest versions of Windows and MAC operating systems.

Today, Ultra also announces the launch of NepTUNES, its full service digital download music store that gives Hydra owners access to over 1.6 million song selections. Just like other music download services, NepTUNES offers Ultra customers the ability to seamlessly transfer music to their Hydra and other Ultra MP3 players. NepTUNES is powered by PassAlong Networks, which allows users to recommend songs or whole albums to their family and friends. In addition, for each purchase, Hydra owners can earn points that can be applied toward future music purchases. The NepTUNES service is available at www.ultraneptunes.com.
