Worst of CES Contender

For the most part, CES has some really cool stuff. But every now and then a manufacturer will let one slip through the cracks and you'll end up with a product that makes you think twice. This is my first "worst of CES" nominee care of Toshiba. It's an underwater Internet Device. It lets you check e-mail, browse them web, and stream video all while you're underwater. Cause you know, you gotta have access underwater.

Yeah, because the USPS guy, UPS, FedEx and survey guys only work on cloudy, clear days. Think about it, it's waterproof... you can use it in the rain. Or on a boat... without fear. Not so bad an idea now, is it?

But yeah... wireless b/g networks... underwater... like, does that even work?

I believe the "underwater" effect just is to show the extreme conditions that this device can handle. As far as network connectivity, you are thinking of traditional "home" networks. Some of us (postal/delivery/railroaders) use a wireless available most anyplace.
