Crazy waterproof coating
It is called Golden Shellback and this thing is really wicked, watch the video. I can't explain myself how they do it, even when connected to speakers the touch works fine underwater. If it will cost $50-75 as the presenter said than I think it will be worth the price.

I wonder what would happen if they pulled out the speaker wire out of the HP out, while underwater. Is it coated inside as well?

I would buy that in all of thirty seconds. Looks incredible.

Well apparently when the presenter mentions the process with the vaccum he says that the device is coated on the outside and the inside.

Read this elsewhere, but still, if the coating eliminates the possibility of one pin-out touching another pin-out to short, how will the dock connector work?

I hope that's really definitely water and not some dielectric water-like compound.. then again I have paranoid suspicions.
This would be GREAT on my Macbook if it came out sooner.. then the oil/moisture from my hands wouldn't be smudging the hell out of it right now (same with many Apple products, I imagine).

It sounds very similar to how a marine circuit and traces are covered with a spray on epoxy to protect it from the elements, only in this case a polymer is deposited under vacuum to isolate the whole device from the outside world. Water can't short anything if the whole path is under a protective layer.

I have baseball cards this might be interesting for. I wouldn't have to worry about moisture damaging them. In the video they coated a piece of paper from several centuries ago.
