Facebook Status Updates and Tweets from Underwater?

Obviously the cell phone manufacturer’s haven’t put too much emphasis on an underwater feature – “Hey you sound like you are underwater…that’s because I am underwater!!”  However, with the ubiquity of text messaging the reality of this is not far behind.  Future Facebook Status: Kimberly is hiding on the ocean floor until the 12 foot hammerhead shark passes thru – please see photo in my mobile uploads.   Don’t laugh know, otherwise you will be “all wet” when this happens.
