Pretty sweet, though I'm not sure being able to resist a 2j impact makes it EXPLOSION PROOF.

Blender! We are looking for you!

Explosion proof but will still inexplicably die when dropped for the Nth time in just the right spot....

Explosion proof or explosion resistant?

Will it blend? Probably.
2 joule impact? 2 watts for one second of g-force shock energy?

I'm with Tom. "Explosion proof" brings out the "Charge the red cape!" in me.

"Really? Explosion proof?!! I just gotta find out!"

Well, I've heard all kinds of good things about kevlar over carbon fiber. And I know it may stop a .50cal shell or two, but what about those German 88s?

And will it land us on the Moon with 8k of memory?

In the Industrial term, "Explosion-Proof" means that the equipment with this certificate will not cause Explosion in hazardous environment filled with volatile gas/dust. It doesn't mean that the equipment can withstand the explosive force. The Aurthur doesn't know about it and just write the article the way he thinks and it is misleading.

In the industrial term, "Explosion-proof" or "Ex-Proof" means that this piece of certified equipment will not trigger the explosion in the environment where there are lots of volatile gases, vapors, or dusts. Not that the equipment can handle the explosion. The Aurthur doesn't know that and write the article in the way he think and it is misleading.

Man that's everything I would want in a smartphone: really tough, water proof, big battery.

Here's the vendor web site: http://www.pixavi.com/product/mobile-devices/intrinsically-safe-smartphone/

Cellular is 3G/HSPA+ (CDMA available)

And even worse than that - say you're in a pitched battle, you've snuck behind enemy lines and you've found their ammo dump with tubs of nitro. "All I need is a trigger..." and you remember, "Hey! I'll drop my cell-phone in it and call that number, and blow everything to smithereens!"

Then, of course, TTC's comment about "not causing explosions" renders everything moot. "Oh, for wont of a match!"
