Apple and Samsung are both reportedly interested in HzO technology that can waterproof smartphones.

HzO coatings enhance and protect devices from smartphones to textiles to important documents. The Water Blocking technology prevents damage caused by liquid resulting in electronic devices that remain fully functional after exposure.

"We showed the Samsung Chairman the technology with a Samsung Galaxy S that we had coated with HZO and he couldn't believe his eyes," a representative of the company told Pocket-Lint. "Samsung is really excited by the tech."

The company also told the site that they are talking to Apple, in hopes that Apple will make the iPhone 5 waterproof.

"We expect HZO to be in next season's phones," said HZO.

The technology appears to be very similar to Liquipel which is already offering a service to waterproof your iPhone for $59.
