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?

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
