Now and again at IntoMobile Towers, we do get the odd random story in - the one below is right up there with them, and is about underwater Mobile TV viewing - yes, you heard it right….

Apparently Japanese manufacturer Fujitsu has created the Fujitsu F706i, which is a waterproof mobile that can receive digital TV signals (whilst underwater!). Now quite why you would want to watch Mobile TV underwater is beyond me, but then again it could just be that these are unrelated featues on the phone…..

Some brief specs are:

* HSDPA support
* 1-Seg mobile TV
* Waterproof up to 3m
* 2.7″ display
* 2 megapixel camera
* microSD/SDHC memory card slot

All very nice, but I am waiting for the first review where the reviewer watches TV whilst in the bath, and then decides to re-charge the device at the same time - I’m sure I remember reading somewhere that water and electricity don’t mix well n’est pas?

      Lol. I would be the one to try charging it while watching TV. I also probably would be the one trying to make toast and dry my hair at the same time! :razz:
