Take no phones into the shower?
How about this little folder?
No need to miss that call – just grab the Fujitsu Japan the F-01A and a loofah!
The F-01A is apparently the world’s first mobile phone that’s waterproof – and also has a fingerprint biometric security thingy.
In Nippon, it’s part of the line-up of NTT DoCoMo, the country’s biggest telecommunications company.
The fingerprint technology is developed by AuthenTec, a provider of fingerprint sensors and solutions.
The Symbian-based F-01A comes with a 3.2-inch VGA touchscreen display, a 5.2-Mpixel camera with autofocus, GPS with Google Street View images, a One-Seg digital TV tuner, an e-wallet function and microSDTM／microSDH slots.
Forget showers – you can apparently take this thing underwater for about 30 minutes up to 1 meter deep.
The Fujitsu phone is already on sale in Japan where it’s available as part of DoCoMo’s PRIME series since November last year.
But AuthenTec has only just made the collaboration with Fujitsu official.

I use my laptop (well, clamshell desktop as I call it) for gaming and enjoy the fact that I can easily drag it around for LAN parties, etc. but there are those occasions when watching someone game with multiple screens.
But, this lappy may level the playing ground.
The Prime Gaming Laptop is designed by Kyle Cherry and is a case of – “This Must Be Produced” as far as I’m concerned.
It features three collapsible screens that offer a wide viewing panel and when unfurrled has a 32:10 aspect for better in game visibility.
It closes to the size of a 13″ notebook and opens to a super wide aspect 26″ notebook.
The main screen is a 10″ concealed OLED screen with 16:10 aspect. Both the left and the right screens are Aux OLED screens with 8:10 aspect.
The Prime laptop boasts an alluminium body which we all know provides strength whilst keeping it portable and also will help with cooling.
If there is any justice in this world of ours, this lappy will be produced and I will be asked to review (and keep) one when it is released
