Ion-Mask Coating Could Make Waterproofing Electronics Easy
Engadget is reporting that a new chemical coating, originally designed to repel toxic vapors and liquids from soldiers' uniforms, may be the solution to small waterproof electronics. "The Ion-Mask is a special invisible coating that is chemically bonded to the device and repels water. It should allow waterproofing to make it into devices that are too small for the seals that are usually used to do the trick. Devices can have joins and gaps coated for a general level of water repellence, or have individual components treated for even more protection."
Having read all the available literature on this process, I feel it's fair to call it vaporware.

either way you'll still get a splash out of the bugger. Viva la Revolution!
We're in college now. There's girls here. They do stuff....
Is this anything like that "Girl Repellent" stuff that Trekkies spray on themselves before going out to singles bars?
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
Then you'd be the man in the Ion mask!
Thank you! And have a Happy New Year!
I prefer Flambe as apposed flamebait.
Was she using it in vibrate mode?

The Nokia 6250, while being quite a brick, tends to easily survive six foot drops onto concrete. Mine actually did survive some thirty-or-so foot drops onto grass and stone ground. Even being throwing it at people wouldn't hurt it. What finally killed it was playing half an hour of water cell (didn't have a ball handy) with it's rear cover not properly fixed.
