Waterproof?
Technology website Techradar is reporting that Electronics waterproofing outfit P2i is in talks with "large Korean manufacturers about making their phones water-resistant".
Eric Cohill, COO for P2i said "There is major interest from carriers in the US to discuss criteria to help against water ingestion for 
customers. We're working with major carriers to create a standard of performance [for water repellence] which can give OEMs something to work to when creating smartphones. There are several hundred pound gorillas in the phone industry, we've got the 'fruity companies' and the big Korean brands, and they're all becoming interested as they don't want to be second best in the market."

Here's an image that mobile phone website phoneArena.com has reportedly been sent by an anonymous "tipster". If this image proves to be true, it will mean the S3 will have no front facing physical buttons, which in turn will free up room for a larger screen. Interesting...
