mobile first-aid for the flood-striken ?

  Far sinister. Remove seals without breaking them. Your new device may not be quite new.

    I expect they are also useful to dry out waterlogged phones.

      Yeah, but I wouldn't expect a store for new phones to have anything to do with waterlogged ones.

        I wouldn't be surprised. It was reported recently about how some shops in Bombay (especially in places like Manish Market) do a thriving business in recycling.

Why? Both mobile phones *and* hair dryers fry your brains and give you cancer. :-)

  cancer is not definite but "Bheja Fry" is damn sure...

Hair dryers are also used to laminate cell phones.
