“What?” I shouted also when I read the title. A conceptual cell phone by Atlas Kinetic is without a battery and gets powered when moved or shaken, seems like a wrist watch type which don’t require batteries but a shake or two which it gets easily from our routine movements.

I think its not as simple to apply the same to a cell phone as applied to a wrist watch because a wrist watch is almost always attached to the wrist, and as I wrote above the movement of our hand provide the watch with enough kinetic energy to get it powered. With the mobile phone things are somehow different in the way that we don’t have the phone all the time in our hands like the wrist watch and hence, can’t equal the wrist watch in terms of getting powered. Also, with the ease of powering the watch as compared with the phone, there’s another point that a watch requires less power than a phone.

This Aluminum-glass handset is ’straight-forwardly’ only a mobile phone and has no extra functions other that sending and receiving calls and messages.

Uniquely designed with a small display and a circular keypad had made me to attract towards the cell phone and then I couldn’t resist myself to read about the it. See for yourself.
