Does the S in iPhone 3GS Stand for Submarine? [IPhone]
Gizmodo —
Sure, this video must be fake, but the sound is so clear I find hard to believe that it is inside a case. Then again, I find even harder to believe that any iPhone can survive this. There's only one way to know the truth: Get your iPhone 3GS to the pool today, submerge for a few seconds, and tell us. Come on. You know you want to do it. Send me your test video to jesus@gizmodo.com.

iPhone 3GS Is Waterproof, Too?
iPhone Alley - RSS —
[image] iPhone 3GS can record video reasonably well in most circumstances, but as it turns out, it works pretty well under water, too. YouTube user KhenaKara was trying out his new iPhone 3GS's video recording capabilities when it slipped out of his hands and down to it's watery grave, or so he thought at the time. To his great surprise, not only was it still functioning, but days later it still remains fully functional! Best of all, he posted the video to YouTube (after the break). [via CNet ...

This is pretty incredible...we're not sure how long it lasted after the video stopped but it would seem somewhat "water resistant". Drop happens about half way through the clip....

iPhone 3GS takes plunge in pool while shooting video... and lives to tell the tale
Engadget —
Now, we're hoping this isn't some elaborate hoax perpetrated on the kind citizens of the internet, because if it's real, it's amazing. Here's the deal: a man capturing video poolside with his iPhone 3GS somehow loses control of the device and ends up dunking the entire phone... while filming. Miraculously, he manages to fish out the handset ...
iPhone 3GS dropped into pool, does not falter
iPhonefreak —
iPhone 3GS dropped into pool, does not falter It was bound to happen sooner or later. The owner of the iPhone in question was daring enough to hold his new iPhone 3GS over the edge of the pool and use its video record feature, I’m sure you can guess what happened next. The caption of the video reads,“Was trying video on my new iPhone 3G S at the pool and dropped it in the pool. Don’t know if it’s waterproof, but it still works fine. I had a few people comment on seeing a strap in the video. I have a rubber cover and had put a strap through the earpiece hole to avoid just this type of thing. I didn’t have it on my wrist at the time, but believe me, I will ...

Filed under: Humor, Odds and ends, iPhoneOr at the pool, or at the beach. It seems a French fellow was proud of his new iPhone 3GS and was taking pictures around the pool when the sort of inevitable happened. Yup, in the drink. Amazingly, the iPhone survived the underwater ordeal, and even recorded [YouTube link] the trip. Allegedly. I wouldn't recommend this as summer entertainment. The iPhone in question had a tight rubber case, and my guess is while the video did record OK, the moisture in the phone will eventually take a toll. There are a few water-tight cases for the iPhone, and we road tested an Otterbox ...

Monday Fun Video: Aqua iPhone or Human Farce?
The iPhone Blog —
Either an iPhone 3GS was dropped in a pool and kept on recording, or as Richard Lai demonstrates in this second video [NSFW-L] someone was smart enough to cover it in plastic wrap first.
You can decide for yourselves, but we’re not letting our iPhone’s anywhere near water without full deep sea gear and a mini sub…
