    Some big news at CES 2012 last week was HZO's WaterBlock technology that could have a profound impact on electronics and even our aquarium hobby. WaterBlock is the latest in nanotech. Used as a spray, WaterBlock coats electronics so effectively they can be submerged and still function properly. Check out the demo below. Rumor is that the iPhone 5 may incorporate WaterBlock technology. Get ready to see a lot of inside tank shots in our future. :)

    Sry Semi but I just read through HzO's website it's not ment for everyday submersion, more for those accidental drops in a sink toilet pool or washing machine :-/ although scuba diving with an iPod would be awesome!!!!
