The DAP umbrella is an umbrella with embeded speakers so you can listen to your music in the rain.
The only problem with listening to portable music is the fact I am completely oblivious to the rest of the world - and as a sociable lil Pocket, I like to share and interact with others. I don't think I'm the only one, as I am noticing there is a trend towards presenting ways to listen to personal music that aren't too intrusive, without having to plug into my head. This concept for a DAP umbrella is kinda cool- you're already sorta encompassed in a pseudo cocoon anyway, so why not add some speakers and enjoy some funky tunes while strolling in the rain? No doubt its water resistant- one would hate to get zapped while enjoying renditions of Singing in the Rain..
