Yamaha has a new MP3 player that is aimed at users who work out often. The BODiBEAT allows you to upload songs into it just as you do with any other MP3 player. The player then chooses music from your playlist with a tempo that matches your run.

The BODiBEAT also acts as a heart rate counter and normal music player for non-impact activities. In addition to music functionality, the player also stores information about your workout like distance, time, and pace. Heart rate is monitored via a heart rate monitor that attached to your ear. Synchronization of music with your workout is done via an internal accelerometer that matches the tempo of tracks to the impacts of your workout. Pricing for the BODiBEAT is about $300.
