Waterproof Smartphones? What’s next?
Waterproof Smartphones? What’s next?
If you’re like me, you probably spend a good chunk of your free time with your hands underwater. I usually have my phone or a camera nearby, and I’m deathly afraid of the inevitable time when I drop my precious iphone into the tank–and weep for hours at the loss.
I’ve also always wanted to buy a waterproof camera to take underwater pictures of my fish and coral, but I read the reviews and inevitably people complain of water damage. Looks like those days of fear may be behind us soon enough. Check out this demo of a new waterproofing technology rumored to be included in the iPhone 5.
It seems that a lot of the iPhone rumors don’t hold up, but man do I hope this one does. How cool would it be to use the phone as an underwater camera.The original article I found was on Tech & Trend see for yourself. The coating is apparently applied to the interal components of the phone–providing a protective barrier over the internal electronics so that water flows through the phone–but doesn’t damage the critical parts.
This is soooo cool. I’m not a nanotechnology buff–so I’m not sure about how it works exactly, but I hope to see it in the iPhone 5 around upgrade time. So cool.
