iPhone Swimming Pool Drop
Can an iPhone 3GS really survive a dip in the pool without any damage? Apparently, someone was happily recording videos by the poolside with his new iPhone when it suddenly slipped and fell into the pool. The phone kept on recording until it was fished out of the water just a few seconds later. Unfortunately, I find this a bit hard to believe. A frame from the video also shows a strap you typically see in compact cameras. Or maybe I’m wrong.

Acer’s new AO751H netbook comes with an 11.6–inch HD screen (1366×768 pixels) and a better keyboard. Unfortunately, the Intel Atom Z520 it sports is slower than the common N270 on netbooks. But with more than 5 hours of battery, this is still a good netbook.
