		<description><![CDATA[With all due respect to Walt Mossberg and company, we haven&#8217;t seen anyone match the witty prose of Flappy the Dolphin for quite some time. The intrepid dolphin redefined tech journalism last year, when he tested a first-generation iPhone, Treo 680, and a Blackberry Curve 8300 in his pool:
Once again, the aquatic mammal sector has been completely ignored by the major cell phone manufacturers. Given their track record, I shouldn&#8217;t be surprised.

We understand your pain Flappy, having realized that <a href="http://www.everyjoe.com/thegadgetblog/2008/07/07/panasonic-sdr-sw20-is-a-genuinely-useful-waterproof-gadget/">water-proof gadgets have their uses after all</a>. It&#8217;s too bad tech companies haven&#8217;t yet learned the lessons clearly outlined in the seminal rundown.
