There were rumours going around the office that I dropped my new iPhone into a fresh cup of coffee.. These allegations are completely *untrue*. But I figured it would be a great experiment to try out.

The experiment is, to see how big the splash would be if an iPhone went diving into coffee. [Apple start reading here] Or, alternatively how the slippery back of the iPhone is unsuitable for resting on a laptop that resides on an inclined stand.

Recipe for disaster:

• 1 x brand spankin’ new iPhone 3GS
• 1 x Griffin laptop stand
• 1 x Cup of freshly brewed PIAZZA D’ORO — Dolce Vita Coffee

Here’s the experiment..

First place the new iPhone on the inclined laptop surface. Then, place the full cup of coffee under the laptop stand so as to encourage the biggest splash!

Here’s what it would have looked like (using Abhi’s iPhone 3G) ..

And this is the amount of coffee that would need to be sponged up after the experiment.

And the result.. A nice big mess to clean up! N.B: no iPhones were harmed during this experiment.
