Phone strap doubles as solar charger

Mike Yamamoto | Feb 05, 2008

This is a switch. Usually the products from Japan's Strapya fall squarely under the category of novelty items, ranging from the silly to the, er, exotic. But it's finally come up with something practical: A mobile phone strap with a solar charger.

The solar cell can be charged up to 500 times, according to Tokyomango, and can use an AC adapter as a backup battery. It doesn't hold a candle to the drunken salaryman dangle, of course, but nothing really can.

Calling card vs. Freedom Phone, calling card please

Damian Koh | Feb 04, 2008

Here's one that promises to unleash you from your crappy phone that goes on strike once you are out of your country. Designed by Vadim Kibardin, the Freedom Phone is a small pre-paid handset that allows you to chat for 60, 100 or 200 minutes. There's no room for your SIM card, so you will be spared roaming charges, and along with it, your number as well. According to Yanko Design, the Freedom Phone charges in just 10 minutes. That means you don't have to wait until the cows come home if you decide to pick one up from the stores. Not bad for a concept, but it should just stay as that. It's probably a better idea to buy a local calling card, though we might still consider using the phone as a paper weight.
