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.
Thanks to BELKIN for supporting our trip to Mobile World Congress.

LS12000B 4K PRO UHD Home Theatre Laser Projector Review
f you’re looking for a projector to build your home cinema around then I can’t speak highly enough when it comes to the EH-LS12000B 4K PRO-UHD. It’s one the best projectors you can buy this year under ten thousand Aussie dollars - $8999 to be precise. I spent a full day with at Epson Australia HQ playing with settings, screens, and various media to record this review. Hopefully the images speak for themselves, because when it comes to a pure cinema experience, this projector delivers. Of course you’ll have to supply the media, whether it’s UHD disc or Google/Amazon dongle.

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we warned Black Friday and Cyber Monday bargain hunters that a quarter of Australia’s top online retailers are not doing enough to protect consumers from cyber crime. Black Friday sales begin this week but one wrong link could end up costing you a lot more. Cybersecurity company Proofpoint has found one in four (25%) of Australia’s top 100 online retailers are not taking appropriate measures to protect consumers from potential email fraud and cyber crime.

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we discussed what LastPass users should do in the wake of its recent security breach. LastPass - one of the world’s biggest password managers - has 25 million users worldwide, including many Australians. I am one of them. So what do we do? The company said there was no evidence that this incident involved any access to customer data or encrypted password vaults. While embarrassing - LastPass deserves credit for being upfront about the incident. The system is working normally.

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) took a look at Samung’s new QD-OLED TV, S95B. Samsung is the world’s biggest TV company and by re-entering the OLED market it will force downward pressure on prices on traditional OLED models.
I spent some time with the 65 inch S95B this week and it’s easily the best TV that Samsung makes. It uses QD-OLED technology which combines Quantum Dot and OLED for an ever better picture result than normal OLED sets.

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we took an exclusive sneak peek behind-the-scenes of Wing’s drone delivery operation ahead of this week’s mini documentary on Image Matrix Tech. A new American survey shows growing public support for deliveries by drone but it’s in Australia where real-world trials are leading the way. I’m the first outsider to gain access to shoot behind-the-scenes with Wing Aviation HQ in Canberra. This world exclusive access documents the whole process from start to finish.

Image Matrix Tech on Sky News: Inside Telstra Blue Tick Lab - Projectors v TVs - Withings Scanwatch Horizon
In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we took a TV exclusive tour of Telstra’s upgraded Blue Tick lab which is in a secret location. Telstra’s Blue Tick program is way more important than I first thought. They are able to simulate outdoor conditions to make sure phones work in Australia - most importantly - in fringe coverage areas. The way we hold a smartphone could prove the difference between making a call or having no signal at all. It’s just one of the many tests inside the lab. It could make the difference on highways or farms by kilometres. And that’s a safety issue.

Image Matrix Tech on Sky News - Infalurt Child Seat Sensor - Samsung A Series v iPhone SE - Samsung Frame TV
In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we looked Infalurt. It is an Australian designed, manufactured and owned in-car alert system that reminds parents their child is still in their car seat.
Each year thousands of Aussie kids are rescued after being left unattended in a car. But help is available thanks to locally developed technology. Infalurt has three simple components: a sensor that sits beneath the child seat, a control unit in an accessible position to the driver and a key fob alarm. The remote sensing technology sounds an alarm if the key holder leaves the car when a child is in the back seat.
