Future Apple and Samsung phones may be waterproof.
Following on from this story about a new spray to keep your mobile phone water proof, it seems another company may be going straight to the source, and lining up deals with Apple and Samsung to coat all new phones in a water proof coating.
The company HzO has come up with a competing product called WaterBlock, which it claims “protects your devices on a molecular scale, so you can breathe easy”.
According to a report on PocketLint:

The company is hoping to sign big deals with all leading manufacturers. A spokesman for the company told Pocket-lint that it is in the process of signing up a major smartphone partner and a headphones maker in the very near future.
The plan for headphones is that they wouldn’t be damaged by sweat when running or water when swimming.
“We showed the Samsung Chairman the technology with a Samsung Galaxy S that we had coated with HZO and he couldn’t believe his eyes,” a representative of the company told us. “Samsung is really excited by the tech.”
The company has told us that they are also talking to Apple as well, hoping to be able to let Apple make the iPhone 5 waterproof.
“We expect HZO to be in next season’s phones,” HZO told Pocket-lint rather confidently.
