Technology Finally Gives Us Something Worthwhile

The toilet dunk proof cell phone:

Most people would shudder at the thought of putting their mobile phones in the dishwasher. This is precisely what Seal Shield invites you to do with its new SEAL CELL handset. Or put it in the sink for a regular clean up.

The phone is water resistant (and not waterproof as we wrote carelessly earlier) and coated with an antimicrobial glaze to reduce mould, mildew and odour build-up. It looks destined mostly for hospital use: Seal Shield specialises in washable IT equipment for the healthcare sector. The company says (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/seal-shield-announces-worlds-first-dishwasher-safe-cell-phone-80697162.html) it devised the phone to help reduce the risk of worldwide cross contaminations, including H1N1, Norovirus and MRSA.

Win.

I have Pepsi-Syndromed phones, and I look forward to an expansion of this technology.
