Philips 9@9f phone gives you 30 days of standby and 8.5 hrs of talking
 Philips is relatively unsuccessful in the cellphone market, seriously they are even less popular than the good o’BenQ-Siemens. Today they announced an addition to their Xenium series, with a funky number 9@9f. If you rememberthe 9@9 that was out a long while ago, this would be the follow-up, with markedly improved design and thickness (100.7x44x15.7mm, 77g). The 9@9f is a no-frills phone by today’s standard, with the complete lack of camera and music support. The battery however can last 720... Continue reading
Sanyo Snoopy-ish dog checks battery status

As if that’s not the main function, there’re also a couple of plastic bones that come with the Eneloopy to make... Continue reading
Airis N004x skimps on hardware, but has replaceable battery
Who is Airis, you might ask. Take a look at this pretty sleek portable media player and you will come to the conclusion that, whether the device works or not, they know how to make well designed products. So how does it perform? With a 1 or 2GB flash drive, it seems a bit small in todays world of 8GB flash devices. Battery life is only rated at 10 hours and the screen is a meager 1.5″ 128×128 pixel display....

Sagem MY-501X can take Nokia BL-5C battery
Perhaps this is something that we have all thought before, but never really tried ourselves.

This is only useful news for those who have a Sagem phone and a Nokia phone at the same time. It might be about time to consider the cross compatibility of phone batteries, just like what some companies are doing with... Continue reading
Logic3 i-Station Traveler takes note out of iPod book
The new i-Station Traveler made by Logic3 is one small boombox; one very small boombox. This new speaker set is perfect travel companion for all those mp3 players out there, especially the Nano.

We cannot live without batteries, just face it, they’re never enough.
