In a world of 10MP Camera phones, waterproof/shock proof housings and social networking infused OS’s i’m almost shocked that no other phone maker has come up with this idea. Well, leave it to the eternally innovative minds at Nokia to not only think of the idea, but to apply for a patent on it. Essentially, what we are speaking of is a “piezoelectric kinetic energy harvester” or in English, a cellphone that runs a long the same idea of a kinetic watch, it uses the energy generated from natural movement and converts it into usable power. Is it a bit ambitious to think this will one day totally eradicate the travel charger? Maybe, but in an industry of regurgitated ideas I look forward to seeing this come to market

What do you think? Think its a good idea? Or a potential flop? Leave a comment!
