A BBC reporter at LA's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) gets challenged to break the Titanic of mobile technology that the company behind it bills the "world's first unbreakable phone". If you name your product something like that, you're just asking to be embarrassed in front of hundreds of thousands of people when it busts in a couple of toe-curlingly awkward seconds.

    • How embarrassing. The claim is that it is "the world's most rugged phone", the executive goes on to say that "it's basically unbreakable". Obviously the phone is only supposed to stand up to normal accidents and damage, not be smashed repeatedly screen first into the iron edging of a glass water tank. The mistake was the executive's; he shouldn't have put out that "challenge" to break it. He obviously doesn't understand his own product. Wouldn't be a first.
