Sony Posts Videos Demonstrating Hardiness of New Xperia Android Smart Phones, Water Resistant and Dust Proof

Sony’s upcoming Xperia acro S and Xperia go Android-based smart phones not only look stylish, but they are robust, too. They’re water resistant and dust-proof, with Sony even claiming the Xperia acro S has the “highest level of water resistance of any smart phone.” We’re not sure if you’d want to dunk them into water purposely, but they’d probably fare well in rainy conditions or poolside. But rather than just talk about it, Sony posted two videos demonstrating this rugged feature.

Rugged smart phones aren’t new for Sony, though, as their lineup already features the highly rugged Xperia active (released under the then-Sony Ericsson brand), but there’s no word, yet, of release stateside for any of these Xperia phones.

Check out the videos after the jump.

CES 2012: DryBUDS SPORT Waterproof Headphones and Mic Let You Gab in Water

Cell phones and H2O should normally never mix, but for those who cannot live without their phones even when in or near water, the DryBUDS SPORT headphones with built-in waterproof microphone is the accessory for you.

Shown this week at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show, the DryBUDS SPORT is completely waterproof, according to its manufacturer, Dry Corp. That means you can bring it into the pool or shower to listen to your tunes. Paired with your phone using Dry Corp’s DryCASE vacuum-sealed waterproof case, you can utilize the microphone to make/receive calls while you soap up your bod or perform your backstrokes. The ability to access your phone through the headphones is also great for times when you can’t physically reach for the phone, like when you’re busy canoeing down a river, for example.
