Nokia Moving Into Kinetically Charged Cell Phones, Files New Patent : TreeHugger
“What the patent boils down to, as New Scientist lays out, is Nokia would create a cell phone with heavier components in a strong frame, which would sit two sets of rails, one allows it travel up and down, the other side to side. As the user walks around or jostles the phone, the frame bumps against strips of piezoelectric crystals at the end of each rail and generates a current, which then charges a capacitor that keeps the phone’s battery topped off.” This is nothing short of amazing and wonderful and so desperately needed: “Pointing out that this could be the perfect option for people in developing nations with limited access to electricity, IntoMobile writes, “…imagine people in Africa, India, and other emerging economies using a device that can charge itself as they go about their day. They walk to school, walk to work, walk to the river to fetch water, etc., they don’t need to walk to the man with a car batter strapped to the back of a bicycles, charging for electricity anymore.”“ THIS. ASAP.

Public radio remakes itself by entering the iPhone age - ars technicaThi
When Public Radio Exchange (PRX) developed the free Public Radio Player for the iPhone, the nonprofit hoped for 500,000 downloads. It now has 2.5 million. “I’m very happy with that number,” says PRX executive director Jake Shapiro. He should be. The PRX dev team has already cranked out two great iPhone apps, one for public radio in general and one for the popular show This American Life in particular. Both apps have positioned public radio as a major force when it comes to on-demand mobile applications. This is an awesome app that just became even better because it now has a sleep time and alarm clock that enables you to wake to any station you like.

The Problem with the iPhone Universal Remote Apps I’ve Seen
The last thing I need is a another fifty or hundred dollar device the size of a matchbox.
I can’t even find my Mac remote.
What I want is something that can be discreetly mounted somewhere with line-of-sight to the components I want to control, and then controlled from my iPhone via either WiFi or Bluetooth.
Does such a thing already exist?
