I had all the reasons to write about this gadget! It’s small, it’s portable and above all it’s highly functional. We are talking about this tiny and lightweight USB cell phone charger. It’s not a cell phone charger exactly but a battery charger to be more precise. Quite easy to cally than those bulky chargers this one is highly compact.

All you need to do with this charger is that just take the battery out of your cell phone and fix it into the slot available in this charger and let it infuse life in your cell phone. This one is good enough to adopt high capability switch power supply with efficient transforming and also extends the stand time and longevity of your battery. And the best part about this USB charger is that it can charge almost all models of cell phones unlike the other chargers that are good enough for only one kind of phone.

The only practical drawback that I could find in the USB cell phone charger was that the cell phone will remain switched off all the while it is on charging mode rest seems cool!

A perfect gadget to comment that cell phone manufacturers and designers are getting head over heals when it comes to coming out with an innovative wonder. The latest in the league of those hard to believe but true cell phones is this NEC Flask.
What goes into it to keep it ringing is no hard core battery like other usual mobile phones but a liquid fuel cell filled inside its flask like bod. The cell keeps working till the liquid is their as the liquid cell keeps draining away with the power. As far as the working of the phone goes, you can operate it with a funky touchscreen that features numbers and digits written all over it. Â

Don’t know how will it work and also there’s no clue as to what will happen if the liquid leaks or the flask breaks ( you can expect all these mishaps, keeping in mind the frequency at which we bang, break or throw our cell phone). And also, the concept of a bottle like cell phone will be quite hard to digest for…isn’t?

Any way…let’s wait till it’s out. There are no details on info and other specifications apart from these pics in some real cool colours straight from NEC website and the fact that the phone is going to hit the market sometime in 2008.

Soon your hassles of carrying your cell phone and iPod chargers will vanish into the blue as Australian researchers are busy devising a special line of clothing that will power your small electronic devices and automatically recharge them with movement.

You just have to wear the clothing and as you move, vibrations generate, which are used to charge the battery or power plugged-in electronic devices.

The researchers opine that it will be hard to distinguish the garments from the regular phones, with the only possible difference in the visible series of small ‘plugs’ for attaching the equipment.
