Is it possible for a cellphone to recharge itself without any wires? We say, impossible but with Nokia, it will be.


Nokia has taken another baby step in that direction with the invention of a cell phone that recharges itself using a unique system: It harvests ambient radio waves from the air that were released from TV, radio and other mobile phone systems and uses the collected electromagnetic energy to create electrical current, then uses that to recharge the phone’s battery.


Currently Nokia is able to harvest all of 5 milliwatts from the air; the goal is to increase that to 20 milliwatts in the short term and 50 milliwatts down the line. That wouldn’t be enough to keep the phone alive during an active call, but would be enough to slowly recharge the cell phone battery while it’s in standby mode.


Nokia says it hopes to commercialize the technology in three to five years. Isn’t it amazing?

This new iPod Shuffle is much smaller than those previous iPods but huge. Huge because it has new features that the previous released never had. It has VoiceOver that with just a press of a button, it can tell you if you want to know the artist or the title of the music you’re listening to. It announces the names of your playlist so it’s easy to switch between them and find the one you want without looking. And when your battery needs charging, VoiceOver tells you that, too. It speaks 14 different languages.

It is 1.8″ x 0.3″ thin to be exact. Not for dramatically smaller’s sake, it is also easier to use, with the controls located where you can access them quickly.

In contrast to its size, it has 4GB of storage that can store up to 1000 songs. Thus, this new iPod Shuffle is truly small but HUGE…
