Aug 28 2007Cell Phone Runs on Single AA Battery
Willcom and Sanyo got together to develop this thing, a cell phone that runs off of a single AA battery. Which, with no screen or anything, doesn't seem like that much of a feat. I mean it only gets 5 hours of talk time and 250 hours of standby. Now if it ran off brainpower, then we'd have something. Who needs caller ID or to store naked pictures of ex-girlfriends on your phone when you can have this thing. Which, I might add, looks remarkably like the "lightsaber" I found in my girlfriend's underwear drawer.

This will be great once you modify the power supply. Once you can plug it into the wall and don't need any batteries, you've got yourself a winner. Someone should come up with one of those corded cordless phones. They must be scared of it's raw power.

How can it be that nobody during the whole design process came up with the comment: "Hey, this looks remarkably similar to a dildo."
Unless they are targetting the San Francisco area market, and they plan to sell it in sex shops.
Turn on the vibrator mode!!!!

What a POS, the inventors are a waste of oxygen and expelling to much green house gas just from breathing...
