This sounds way too good to be true. Can I have some?

MARITIME EXECUTIVE NEWSLETTER for August 07, 2008
New Coating Technology Repels Water From All Consumer Electronics Golden
Shellback is a unique coating that protects material against damage caused
by exposure to water. The technology was developed by Northeast Maritime
Institute, a private maritime education and training Institute located in
Fairhaven Massachusetts. The Institute’s creed is “Honor The Mariner”.In maritime circles there has been a battle raging for at least one
thousand
years; water vs equipment. This dilemma was magnified when electrical
components where first brought aboard ship requiring electricity to live in
close quarters with its natural enemy; water. To date the solution to this
problem has been the use of barriers to keep water away from components.From hard cases with synthetic gaskets to plastic amour found in electric
cable, protecting a device from the conductive and corrosive properties of
water has always been done external to the core components.Sid Martin, Director of Technology at Northeast Maritime Institute,
approached the problem from a different perspective. Listening to working
mariners training at the Institute’s facilities, Martin knew that
protecting
devices from marine environments needed to be done without adding size or
complexity to the device. With knowledge gained in the semi-conductor,
aerospace and maritime industries Martin set out to protect every surface
of
a device; at the molecular level.The results are impressive. During the testing process Northeast Maritime
Institute has submerged an IPOD Touch, Blackberry Pearl, numerous VHF
radios
and other equipment without noticeable damage. One such device operated
continuously while immersed in water for over 450 hours prior to failure.“When Sid dropped his blackberry into the bucket of water my jaw dropped
with it. I could hardly believe the result.” -Captain John Konrad, gCaptain
BlogProviding a uniform, near hermetic coating Golden Shellback protects
electronics exposed to water and resists both rain and humidity allowing
them to continue working during and after direct exposure. The coating also
has the ability to repel oil, synthetic fluid, hazardous material, sand,
dust, and water-based substances. No one is more excited by this
development than Eric Dawicki, President of Northeast Maritime Institute.
Having served in the Coast Guard and aboard large merchant ships Dawicki is
confident this technology will not only help keep consumer electronics out
of landfills but when offered to mariners, rescue teams and first
responders
it will save lives.Additional uses for the technology are still being explored but the
Institute has already responded to requests from medical device
manufacturers, rescue professionals and consumers located around the world.
Golden Shellback coating is currently available to companies for
application
during the manufacturing process. Consumers can expect to get their
existing
devices shellbacked in the coming months.Copyright 2007 The Maritime Executive

It appears this product is still struggling to come to the market. I saw a
promise that it would be available on eBay in May, but I can’t find it. I
wouldn’t hold your breath.On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 10:51 AM, Pete Dubler <> wrote:
