Now, I’ve personally never tried dipping my iPhone 3G in water just to see what the outcome would be and I’m sure the above YouTube user, KhenaKara, didn’t intend to either with his iPhone 3GS.

From the looks of the video, the man was minding his own business filming some people floating in a pool when the device slipped out of his hand and sunk to the bottom of the pool. He think quickly proceeded to snag the iPhone presumably thinking the worst but upon discovering it’s still capturing video says in amazement, “wait, it still freakin’ works!”.

Remember folks, this is just one case of the iPhone 3GS surviving complete submersion in water. Do not try it at home, please.

I don’t know if you were aware of this but iPhones and water don’t exactly mix well. Let me tell you more about it! CNN has all the facts about it. It seems like a certain Kristile Cain returned an iPhone to the local Apple Store when the headphone jack wasn’t working properly. And they would have replaced the handset but the Genius guy noticed that moisture indicator. She said the phone has never been in water. But what Kristile did was to take showers in the same room her iPhone usually rests. Either she’s taking long showers and she likes to be able to answer those hundreds of incoming calls or she has no clue about how water works. Next time she should probably keep the iPhone out of the bathroom. And no, water doesn’t work in mysterious ways; it’s God that does that!

Now here is good news for all the eco-friendly people out there and all those who keep forgetting to buy batteries for your alarm clock. This small little alarm clock works on water! There are no batteries, no wires no trickery behind it! You just have to make sure that it’s got enough water. The electrochemical reaction of those pretty electrodes in the water will take care of the rest for you.The water-powered alarm clock cost only around $30 if you’re interested in it.

I know what you’re thinking, could we see our phones powered by water in the near future? We’d certainly love to see such a handset concept.
