By the first glance, you’ll definitely say that this is one kind of those erasers you’re very familar with in those old school days. But, no, it’s actually a charger for your cell phone. It’s the kind of AA battery-powered charger that we have seen before. It’s powered by a couple of AA batteries, which can give your phone a quick boost of the batteries, which they could at least let you finish those urgent business calls. Too bad is this charger has very limited list of compatible phones. It only works well with those Japanese cell phones from FOMA and SoftBank only. It doubles as a cellphone strap, which you can attach it to your cell phone and bring along with your cell phone. So, anytime, when your cell phone is almost flat with the batteries, just connect this charger up to your cell phone to boost its batteries.

Currently, this device can produce around 50mW of power, of course, it’s simply too low, which might take almost a day to fully charge your gadgets. For the Qi Gong experts, you’d probably be able to produce much more than that, perhaps only a few hours. [...]
