Tired of outlet babysitting? Try the Kinesis K3

K3

The least favorite time for any gadget aficianado, particularly the mobile gadget aficianado is that of recharge time.  Not only are we at times without gadgets (the ones that aren’t operable while charging), we are also stuck, chained to a wall limiting our movement and mobile freedom.  Extra batteries can help extend those wall free moments in life and for many are a good solution.  But what if you’re going to be away from walls and outlets for an extended period of time?  Mobile chargers that use solar, hand crank power, or even disposable batteries are all available in vairous shapes and sizes.  So much so that it may even be hard to find the right mobile charger for you.  Thankfully I can tell you to ignore the rest and try out the Kinesis K3.

Have you ever been out and about around town and have your phone die on you.  You might have had a charger but it doesn’t do you much good if you’re not near a power source.  All is not lost.  Digicel and ZTE have come together and come up with a solution to this ancient dilema: the Coral-200 will truly allow you to cut the cord as it comes with a solar panel built in to the back of the phone allowing you to constantly charge your phone just by having it in sunlight!  Sadly, any details and specs aren’t currently available.  However, judging by the diminutive size of the screen, I don’t think video playback will make the cut.
