A Phone That’s Not Afraid to Mess with Water

Spotted on Yanko Design, a Nokia concept phone by designer Rune Larsen:

This Nokia concept tries to right this wrong by using a small pump to fill a substrate beneath the screen that gives our fingers something to feel and press. Maybe now I can finally type out these posts while driving to work without having to put my coffee in the cup holder.”

      This is one great techy stuff. Water and cellphones don’t just match. I remember having a phone that was unusable after it slipped into the water. Terrible. Thanks for this info.
