Phone charged by kinetic energy comes with a variety of health monitoring sensors.
Recently we witnessed a basic phone powered by solar energy, and now we have one that powers itself by harnessing the kinetic energy of the body. The phone has specifically been designed for athletes and other people involved in sports. Designed by Oana Oniga, the phone does much more than keeping the user connected to the world.
The SportPhone is to be worn like a wristband and comes with a variety of body monitoring sensors that include a 3D motion sensor, heartbeat rate monitor and calorie sensor. The waterproof, shock resistant phone is made of flexible rubber that allows the user to easily pull down the phone from the arm, to not lose the ear and mouth connection during a phone call. The phone’s ability to recharge itself by harnessing the kinetic energy of the body is great to sustain the energy-intensive applications that the phone is made to run.

Rubber used on sweaty hands? That’s an amazingly stupid idea, it will cause burns and no matter how flexible it is it will not come off sweaty hands. Obviously the person that designed this is not into sports.
And the kinetic recharge idea isn’t new, it’s been used for ages.
The phone does not show any way of input for the numbers, if it is a touch screen interface, how will Michael Jordan ( cheesy photo btw ) not scratch it.
Unfesable, unrealistic, cad sux, SHIT PHONE. Wannabe designers…
