O2 Announces Online Phone Recycling

Brian Yalung — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 22:13:37 +0000

Called O2 recycle, O2 provides a new online service to help people in properly getting rid of old gadgets and get some monetary value as well. Among the gadgets that O2 will be considering include the likes of MP3 players, digital cameras, GPS devices and other consumer electronics. All you have to do is drop by their site, enter the details of your device, get an estimated value, print off a receipt while a pre-paid postage bag is sent to them to put the phone and receipt in and send back.

Once the package arrives and is found in good working order, O2 will send a text confirming the receipt of the goods and the net value will be deposited onto the customer’s account. For every device O2 will donate £1 to the “It’s Your Community” charity while the products are sold on to global markets by Redeem.

The Greenergy Music Player

Brian Yalung — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 03:42:35 +0000

We all love multi-functional gadgets and the Greenergy music player is certainly one that fits the bill. It thrives from energy solicited from changing temperature and even contains a heating module and a “personal light” on board.

Though its creator, Dmitry Shcherbakov claims that this device can create energy, there is no word on how much it can actually generate. In any case, his shiny, undulating and unusually architectural design is certainly creative, unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

The necklace is made up of a unit that houses the Mp3 and the solar panel, when wearing it; the solar panel should be worn outward as to make use of the sunlight. Unfortunately, there is a drawback to this product and that is the 2 Mb memory, it should have been more.

Foot Pump Battery Charger

David Allen — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 14:00:55 +0000

Here is another idea that can save your sanity when your laptop battery fails and you have no way of charging it up. Normally this is a nightmare situation where the only solution is to take some time off work until you reach civilisation again, where you can plug the adapter into a wall socket.

However, it longer has to be like that, this is the Yogen Max, it is a foldable and light weight foot charger, which will after a few pumps on the foot pedal, bring back life into the batteries of a laptop. Nevertheless, this will also charger up any rechargeable battery like Mp3 players, cellphones and just about anything else. The only problem is a little bit of physical exercise is needed.

Missy — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 22:22:17 +0000

With the US economy the way it is going, many Americans are looking at a variety of ways to earn and or save money.

Why not go green while also saving some green. One such method involves looking at old electronics you own but no longer use. You can do several things here. You can donate, sell, or recycle.

Let’s briefly take a look at number 2 – selling old electronics. Have you heard of Gazelle? Before i tell you about this recyler, let’s recap the other recyclers we have profiled including Cell For Cash and 6 Ways To Dispose Of Your Old iPhone.

Those two articles covered mostly selling and or recycling your old cell phones, but Gazelle accepts more than mobile phones, it accepts digital cameras mp3 players, laptops, camcorders and video game consoles. As is standard you enter in the device model and condition, you are then given a dollar amount as to what they will pay you for it.

It doesn’t hurt to see what your old electronics are worth, as your only expense is time and a quick trip to the mailbox or local post office. Free shipping is usually provided in the form of a prepaid mailer or box.

So earn some quick holiday cash and go green all at the same time. Do let us know how it goes.

You can pre-order the V-MODA Vibe II today through their website or the Apple store in either black or chrome and red.

M2E Motion To Energy Regeneration Mobile Chargers

Brian Yalung — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 20:12:02 +0000

We have heard of the various alternative energy sources such as solar and hydrogen power and most of them are helping people look towards better ways to satisfy their energy needs. Among the leading candidates that require constant charging are our gadgets like mobile phones and iPods. While there have been unveiled devices here is another one that uses motion to recharge them.

M2E Power, Inc., a renewable energy design and development company, today announced the company is moving forward with the development of an external charger for mobile devices. This unique charger will be the first to harvest motion-producing electromagnetic fields, convert that motion into clean electric energy and store it for use on mobile devices.

The charger, the first of a number of micro and macro power developments from M2E Power, leverages the company’s patent-pending, physics-level innovations, fundamentally changing the renewable energy landscape by tapping the kinetic energy of everyday motion. For every six hours of cumulative motion (walking, driving, etc.), the M2E charger can generate between 30-60 minutes of talk time.

With this new device, you now have another alternative way to recharge your gadgets while avoiding the energy mess. Check out their site for more information on these new devices for recharging your gadgets today.

Medis 24-7 Power Pack

Brian Yalung — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:53:48 +0000

Medis 24-7 Power Pack

Throughout the site, we have seen a wide array of power packs offered to the modern consumer, each having their own benefit as far as assisting in the needs of people who suddenly run out of power from their batteries. Ideally, most of the batteries in use today are in the form of rechargeable ones and perhaps the next thing that they would need would be the reliable chargers such as the Medis 24-7 Power Pack.

The Medis 24-7 Power Pack can accommodate practically any gadget we have today. In fact, it has been said that a Medias fuel cell can provide energy on a flashlight for up to 6 weeks. In fact it can even power most known handheld devices such as iPods, MP3 players and mobile phones. Best of all, it only costs $29.99. So with these benefits, you may want to consider getting one to avoid any inconveniences as far as power requirements for most gadgets you have under your wing these days.

Reportedly, the cell can provide enough power for the flashlight to be used for up to six weeks (though by then most of us will be out of food and water, but at least we’ll have light).

A simple “squeeze, plug and go,” this portable system has enough power to drive most handheld devices when the battery is nearly depleted – up to 30 hours of talk time for an average mobile phone or 60-80 hours of play time for an average MP3 player (including iPods). It works with most PDAs, smartphones, MP3 players, digital cameras and GPS devices.
