Parachute Pants and Hammer Time!
Here are another couple of segments I did for CNET's Always On with Molly Wood.
First up, the leap out of a helicopter at 10,000 feet to test the iPhone vs the HTC. This was an absolute thrill for me:
For the second segment, I had a lot of fun torturing the Nokia Lumia 900 Windows Phone. Hope you enjoy watching:

The comment about "too bad it's a Windows Phone" was not funny, it was biased and unprofessional.
As far as the water test goes. Two thoughts.
#1) If you're trying to inform consumers, the go all the way. Tell them they shouldn't try to turn a phone on immediately after it gets a dunking. Even better, if the phone has a removeable battery, get it out, right away. And finally, if you're going to put it in rice, leave it there for 24 hours.
#2) If you are going to do a consistent set of tests with every phone, and the dunk test is one of them, why not make your entry into the pool a running gag to keep it entertaining. You'll end up in the pool each time, but how you actually get there varies, and that has the potential to be funny.
First time skydiving? Looked like a blast man. I did static line when I did it (by myself but chute is pulled when I jumped out of the plane). How is free fall? Great videos.
More please! That skydiving video was awesome!
Great work on the Always On segments, Jeff, but these two videos are not working, and giving this error: "The uploader has not made this available in your country.". Is there a licensing issue for Canada? It's odd because I've been able to watch other Always On videos without a problem.
Was so excited to open this videos, but same as with Darth Ed get error: "The uploader has not made this available in your country"......
