How long before phone-based uw cases eat the low end computers?

HotDive turns smartphones into dive computers – and underwater cameras this is an interesting one. It has a 800l light in it as well apparently

I would put my life in the hands of this device in a second! I've taken a look at the device and it features a dive light, compass and computer for a price that's 2-5 times cheaper than what it would normally cost.

I've seen a picture of a diver holding it and it's HUGE!!! So, it's really easy to handle as long as you don't need your hands for anything else.

That's all we need... cell phone UW videos. I detest the land-based ones we see on TV.

Would it help if the phone was held sideways instead of vertically?

Immensely. That should be a default in the software. Honestly, the cameras on modern cell phones are pretty good. Problem in most case is the user.
