Apple in talks with HzO to waterproof future devices?

HzO, a company that waterproofs electronics with its "WaterBlock" technology, is in talks with Apple about using the product in future releases including the Apple iPhone. The company displayed the product at CES 2012 in Las Vegas and one of the demonstrations of its nano-scale film barrier was to dunk a "WaterBlock" coated iPhone into water and showing that it continued to work as if nothing was done to the handset.

"WaterBlock" is a safe, organic material that HzO says does not add any weight to a device and is completely safe and non-toxic. It has been developed to protect expensive electronic devices from accidental encounters with water. Although the product is not intended to protect a device against total submersion of a device into a liquid for a period of time, electronics that have had "WaterBlock" added have been able to stay in water for "many continuous hours," and continue to work. The company says, "The technology is designed to protect against failure due to jumping in a pool and forgetting your phone was in your pocket, or dropping your iPod in the sink while doing dishes, or getting caught in a torrid rain storm and getting soaked, or leaving your smartphone in your pants when they go through the wash."

HzO has allegedly told CES attendees that it is in talks with Apple and that Samsung executives got excited when the company showed them a "WaterBlocked" Samsung Galaxy S II that continued to work after it was dunked in water. HzO was alleged to have said that its technology will be on next season's phones.

Unlike the Liquipel system, which requires a device to be sent to the company for the technology to be applied, HzO's product is applied to a device during the manufacturing process.

I do agree that moilbe devices use should not be banned in school. With the fast development of the modern technology and the moilbe devices, they are more and more useful and available to the moilbe learning. Mobile learning has its great benefits and I think no one is willing to deny this fact. Mobile learning will enable learners to learn anywhere, anytime. There can be greater student engagement, more effective collaboration and interaction and it could possibly draw back the students who have already lost the interest and enthusiasm in learning. Then when we move on to the use of moilbe devices in schools, the issue becomes controversial. I think it is quite understandable. One great concern for it is that students may abuse the uses of moilbe devices like cell phones, PDAs, smart phones, etc. I have to confess that I occasionally use cell phone to send SMS in college as an undergraduate, especially the class is a big one, with more than 150 students, and more especially if the content and the way teacher delivered is especially boring. For the small kids, I think they may even go further to wildly use the moilbe devices without the teachers? guidance and regulation. So I think the use of moilbe devices in school should be conducted differently according to different audiences. For the small children, they can use the moilbe devices under the monitoring of the teachers. If the class is small, everything will be under control, especially with application of suitable central controlling system (needs to be developed), the students can not abuse the use of the devices, and they can be directed in the right way and make full use of all the instructional materials and resources. For the adult who have more self-control and self-discipline, they can be encouraged to use all kinds of devices available and best profit from the moilbe learning.
