[citation][nom]internetlad[/nom]did they use a system similar to what Liquapel where there's a nano-thin coating on the electronics, or did they just plug up all the holes?[/citation]

They just plugged up the holes. If water got into the inside, it would surely die.
Still, a pretty nifty device since I've recently (due to hot Australian weather) taken a liking to water parks.
 
There are many waterproof cameras on the market that have a warranty that sounds like this: "If this waterproof camera comes in contact with water, your warranty is void."

And a lot of people got screwed over when they attempted to RMA their bricked waterproof cameras.

I wonder what the Xperia Z's warranty say...
 
Regarding the waterproof earbuds, Sony have actually announced just that. But these of course come with the waterproof walkman (w-270 series). So maybe they will come out with those seperately for their phones in the near future.
 
[citation][nom]Tomfreak[/nom]would be nice if they can come up a waterproof earbuds + allow earbuds to stay plugged while ur phone is underwater.[/citation]

Water-proof (or more accurately, water-resistant) ear buds shouldn't be difficult to make IMO and the same is true for keeping them plugged in underwater (although I doubt that they'd work well underwater unless your ears are covered by air-tight containers with the ear buds inside them).

All that you'd need to do for the ear buds is protect the little speakers with something water tight such as a little rubber and they should be fine, even if a bit muffled in sound quality. The connector should be easy to water proof without any issues.
