If you're in the market for a military grade tough phone without the bulk, then check out the latest IIIF150 Ultra Thin Rugged Phones.
In this video I got hands on with several models checking out the toughness and water resistance capabilities.
They are impressively thin considering how tough they are in and out of the water.

Image Matrix Tech on Sky News: WING reveals future network plans - New MG EVs - HTC Vive boosts VR - IIIF150 Rugged Phones
In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we discussed why Drone delivery service - WING - is introducing a new system that could speed up the expansion of home delivery by air. WING is introducing a Delivery Network - which means the drones can take orders as they come in like a ride-share service. Instead one home base, drones can pick up from many locations, using a new autoloader that means retail staff don’t have to wait for a drone. WING plans to roll out elements of Wing Delivery Network capabilities over the next 12 months. This could be the key for deliveries by drone to take the next step towards mainstream adoption.
Image Matrix Tech on Sky News: Where were the drones on NYE, DaVinci Resolve on iPad Pro, CES preview, PS4 gaming for the family
In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we asked the question; where was the big drone show on New Year’s Eve?

Image Matrix Tech on Sky News: Tesla Semi rolls out - Boost Trade-in app - Therabody Smart Goggles
In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Jaynie Seal) we covered the delivery of the first Tesla semitrailer in the United States. Australian truckies are set for a much longer wait to get behind the wheel of Elon Musk’s latest electric vehicle. At the moment the Tesla Semi might be too wide according to Australian regulations and although its range is 800 kms (impressive) - it won’t make Brisbane to Sydney on a single charge - YET.
But this is a game-changer vehicle. Even under full load it drives like a car. This could encourage more truckies into work. Acceleration from 0 to 100 kph in 20 seconds (full load), single seat but you can stand up in the cabin, powered by three electric motors, safer downhill due to regenerative braking and recharge to 70 per cent in 30 minute using "mega chargers".

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Jaynie Seal) we looked at Elon Musk’s offer to help restore internet services to tsunami ravaged Tonga.
Musk said on Twitter: “This is a hard thing for us to do right now, as we don’t have enough satellites with laser links and there are already geo sats that serve the Tonga region. That is why I’m asking for clear confirmation.”
Digicel workers have got some connectively going, handed out free sims and Telstra made calls free to Tonga. But Musk is right about the difficulties in getting Starlink to provide internet coverage over Tonga at this point. We discuss the reasons.
