Waterproof gadgets on the way – invisibleShield maker, ZAGG, gets some waterproofing tech

A lot of people use ZAGG’s invisibleShield product to protect their electronics since they add little bulk but protect screens and other parts of your device from scratches. Now, ZAGG has picked up the rights to the “Golden Shellback” technology that is now going by the name of “HzO.” HzO is a technology that coats gadgets to make them waterproof. All of the components are covered in a transparent coating — videos show devices like a BlackBerry or iPod touch continuing to function under water. Take a look at the video below to see this technology in action. Expect to see ZAGG offer some kind of HzO service or to start selling their own coated goods like ColorWare PC does. As a spaz, it’s only a matter of time before my computer winds up in some water or coffee. I look forward to seeing ZAGG use this tech.
