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: Adobe Firefly AI - ECOVACS WINBOT W1 PRO - Sennheiser Profile USB Microphone
In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we explained why Adobe’s entry into the AI game is different. Firstly, Adobe Firefly is about creating visual works for someone involved in graphic design, video editing or similar job. It’s about making money for the content creator.

Image Matrix Tech on Sky News Aust: WA Police CarPlay results - Flip Phones Price War - UNIDEN baby monitor - Humanoid robots not ideal
In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we exclusively revealed the results to date of WA Police using Apple’s CarPlay on patrol.

Image Matrix Tech on Sky News - Tiny Robots - Samsung Expert RAW - Sonos Ray - Soundboks Go
In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we looked at amazing tiny robots developed by the team at Northwestern University in Illinois, USA. They developed the smallest-ever remote-controlled walking robot — and it comes in the form of a tiny peekytoe crab. Just a half-millimetre wide, smaller than flea - the tiny robot crabs can bend, twist, crawl, walk, turn and even jump. The researchers also developed millimetre-sized robots resembling inchworms, crickets and beetles. The team used a laser beam to rapidly heat the robot. The heating and fast cooling creates motion.
In the very near future tiny robots, like these experimental creations, could assist in medical procedures like clearing clogged arteries, stopping internal bleeding or eliminating cancerous tumours. There’s a long, long way to go but this is exciting stuff.
