Waterproof wifi appliance is hard to get
-
Why is it that it is so difficult to get a waterproof tablet/phone that one can use while in the pool? I travel a lot around equator and enjoy being in the pool most of the time working online og talking into the phone. I have washed away 3 cellphones now.

Difficult? They are pretty easy to find: http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/phones/xperia-z1-compact/?gclid=Cj0KEQjwyrqgBRDepamt-LWA2oABEiQAV7nwwMozl7r5EQUrYQyt_b9cu8jB_itrUXW4Pfr_J301JawaAnHi8P8HAQ[^] And http://www.tuffphones.co.uk/waterproof-mobile-phones.html[^] And not as expensive as I had assumed they might be...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Thank you. At first glance both links seems like phones only. No laptops and no lightweight tablets as far as I can see. That makes programming while floating around on my inflateable beach toy or madress both difficult and expensive in case of wetting it. That was what I was mostly getting at in the first place. You have to have a certain technique to get up without splashing water all over the Lenovo keyboard - this is really difficult! I know it sounds a little silly picturing this, but it's a real pain i the butt in a 100 degree fahrenheit environment.

If you want laptops look at Panasonic Tough Books[^] or Dell's ruggedized Lattiude[^] series; and then decide it's cheaper to just drown a laptop once a year or so. :doh:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

"Plink plink fizz" was a very successful tablet campaign, in the UK, a few years back. Perhaps they're hoping to match the results of that.

Yaa thanx' that was my conclusion too. Thinking about it it is a little strange that the components inside a normal laptop cant stand the "rain". After all resistors, capasitors etc. are all sealed so what can water possible do to them? If one was folding origami animals I could understand - but the laptop is rock solid to my knowledge - but it stops working after just one trip to the bottom of the pool!
