For those prone to dropping their
phone in puddles or even down the
loo, one manufacturer has found a
cutting-edge solution. Sony has produced a waterproof
mobile that can be submerged in 3ft
of water for up to half an hour. The Xperia Z smartphone can be used
to make calls - or even watch films - in
the bath without risk of damage,
while those who can't bear to be
parted from their phone for long can
even take it into the shower. And if it gets dirty, its water-
resistance means it can simply be
washed under a tap. The Japanese technology giant hopes
this unique feature will hold enough
appeal for the phone to emerge as a
challenger to the iPhone and Samsung
Galaxy S series. Sony posted record
losses last year after lagging far behind Samsung and Apple. The Android-powered device, the
first waterproof smartphone to be
widely available in the UK, was unveiled
at the Consumer Electronics Show in
Las Vegas. 'If you want to want to sit in the bath
and watch an HD movie this is the
device for you,' Sony Mobile executive
Steve Walker said in an interview. The Xperia Z, which also includes a 13
megapixel camera and a pre-loaded
Walkman app, is set to go on sale next
month.
