MacVoices
The talk of the Apple community

<p>At CES in Las Vegas, we learned about a process that can make your phone or tablet waterproof. <strong>Tom Fisher</strong> Solutions Engineering Director for <a href="http://favoredtech.com"><strong>Favored Tech</strong></a>, explained how their coating can be applied by original equipment manufacturers, how it can be varied to improve the degree of water protection, and what cost it adds to the device. Seeing a phone running, connected to power and underwater, makes us wonder why every phone doesn’t get this treatment.</p>

<p>At CES in Las Vegas, <a href="http://powervision.me"><strong>PowerVision</strong></a> was flying a drone through a shower of water. <strong>Chris Leigh</strong>, Regional Sales Director, who was flying the drone, explained how it not only can fly during a heavy rain, but can take off and land from the water, and also has multi-function capabilities. It can convert to an AI video cam that has the same tracking capabilities in your had as it does in flight. Chris talks about his experiences with the drone, and how you can record voice-over for the device’s videos, cutting down on post-production time.</p>
