Eco-Friendly Gadgets: Just Novelty Wind-ups?

318113664 e9b092db04 m Eco Friendly Gadgets: Just Novelty Wind ups?
by Fer..

It is estimated that only five percent of the electricity used by cell phone chargers is actually used to charge phones. The rest is just wasted while the chargers sit idle. Writing for The Guardian in 2006 consumer affairs correspondent Rebeccca Smithers reported, “It’s now estimated that electricity use – through the sales boom of such items as electric toothbrushes and cordless phones – is set to double by the year 2011″. So it seems we are destined to place an even bigger burden on the environment and the planet’s resources in the coming years. With this mind boggling information at hand, isn’t it time to super-charge a sales boom for eco-friendly gadgets?

How many times have you wished a gadget you use each day didn’t need to be plugged in, or your use of it restricted by the length of its cord? Or did a power cut leave you thinking you wish you could produce some of your own energy?

I would have to say I’m the ultimate gadget guy. I queued for four hours when the amazing Playstation 3 was released, I’ve flung my arms around aplenty with the Nintendo Wii and I could reel off a long list of even more gadgets I’ve patiently waited and saved for. Around my home you’ll find a plethora of gizmos sitting around looking “cool” but I still feel that sheer excitement of the next big thing around the corner meaning you can probably never have enough gadgets.

The gadget defined

A gadget can be a small device of an innovative nature with a particular function. Throw in some energy saving or alternate energy and you have an eco-friendly gadget! They’re always fun to use, but to save energy too is a pretty handy added bonus making the world of eco-friendly gadgets very appealing. Greg Walton, owner of thegreenshop, says “Changing the way we look at the world in an eco-friendly manner is the best way to educate us”, and some of today’s gadgets are doing just that. In this article we will explore how eco-friendly gadgets have evolved to lend a hand and help us live a little greener in the process.

So what are the rules of an eco-friendly gadget?

Eco-friendly gadgets have no rules but one, to be energy efficient. They come in all strange shapes and sizes, they can be crazy, whacky, inspiring and certainly ingenious at times. They come in pretty handy too, like the cute little pump-action torch powered by kinetic energy.

They’re even great fun to use, like the solar powered model planes that never really need to land – you need to see these sun-powered flying machines in action to believe them! They can also be any kind of practical device that does what it’s supposed to, but uses less or a completely different form of energy such as solar power.

You could even keep track of your energy with an electricity monitor in your home, which tells you just how much electricity you’re eating up and where. The Owl electricity monitor is an excellent example of one of these devices available and also gives you an accurate real time display of your consumption cost.

The Freeplay revolution!

We can’t pinpoint exactly where the green gadget revolution began, however the introduction of the groundbreaking Freeplay wind-up radio by Trevor Baylis in 1994
Definitely gave the movement a big kick-start. It also created a global awareness of the problems faced by so many with no access to power. This amazing radio changed the lives of countless people around developing countries by bringing education through music and talk to the masses where electricity didn’t previously exist.

When asked in an interview about what triggered such a phenemonel idea, Trevor Baylis replied, “The problem was that most of Africa didn’t have electricity and the only other form of electricity was through batteries, and where do you get them in Africa? I’m listening to some raunchy number on my wind-up gramophone with a big horn on the top, and I think, hang on, if you can get all that noise by dragging a rusty nail along a piece of paper like you’re using a spring, there’s got to be enough power in the spring to drive a small dynamo which in turn will drive a radio.”

The Sakku solution

The wind-up radio aside, you might be wondering if eco-friendly gadgets are just gimmicks and good fun. Indeed they can be great fun, but more importantly they help us save valuable energy. Let’s take the Sakku solar-powered bag for example.  I call it the brainy bag. This fantastic lightweight bag, which is readily available in South Africa, will collect the sun’s energy and use it to power up your phone, music player or other gadgets in your bag on the go! It doesn’t get easier than this, and sounds so much better than fumbling around for countless chargers when you’re already in a rush.

My garden of lights

I use my garden for winding down in the evenings and for entertaining friends after the sun goes down. My garden stays well lit during a power outage but not with a loud whirring generator hidden in the back somewhere. Just like Superman my power comes from the sun, with solar-powered lights.

Solar lights on the market now use high-powered LEDs (light emitting diodes), which are the new, space–age, tiny, super-powered and super-bright bulbs. For example a 22-watt LED will produce just as much light as a 100-watt regular light bulb while using at least two thirds less power. As if that wasn’t enough, it also costs less too and they’re fully charged in just a few hours. So now when the lights go out on your block, it doesn’t mean your evening has to end too, fantastic!

The future of eco-friendly gadgets?

So what innovative and fresh eco-friendly gadgets can we expect in the near future? One thing certain to cause a stir is the novel Shiro SQ-S MP3 player, the first player to boast a solar cell on its back offering practically unlimited playability. This is the ultimate music lover’s dream – a music player limited only by its capacity and not its power! I can guarantee this will be the first thing going inside my new Sakku bag.

How about the new Light-Energy mobile phone by HTW (currently in design stage)? Just 40 minutes in sunlight or room light will give you 25 minutes talk time! A ray of hope in a world with too many chargers!

Definitely not just a wind-up

From intelligent bags that charge our gizmos on the go, to crazy planes that never land and music players that keep playing, its obvious to see the world of eco-friendly gadgets is vast, innovative, fast paced and ever expanding. This is definitely the perfect time to start exploring the energy-saving options you could implement around your home. Challenge yourself to introduce something new into different parts of your home and know that you are part of the green gadgets revolution!

Blackberry phones are definitely the lifeline of corporate executives and professionals, some even swear by their Blackberrys.

The screen is a capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 489 by 360 pixels. At the bottom of the screen there are the distinctive call, menu, back, and end buttons along with the optical trackpad.

The Importance of Having a Memory Card Reader

A memory card reader is a very convenient accessory that allows the user to directly connect a memory card to a PC or laptop. But most modern smart phones like the BlackBerry Torch 9800 offer an alternative. They allow you to connect them to the PC or Mac via USB data cable or Bluetooth and access the memory card as if the device were a hard drive. A memory card reader provides other advantages that a data cable or Bluetooth cannot. And those benefits make memory card readers some of the most popular accessories available.

In fact, memory card readers have become so useful that many manufacturers are including them in the systems they sell, and motherboard manufacturers have begun to include them on their boards. One of the major reasons as to why is because they are easy to work with. New smart phones appear to be coming out all the time and the average person will get a new phone about every two years. Memory card technology, on the other hand, is evolving at a much slower pace. The memory cards you had two or even three phones ago are likely still good today. So rather than set everything up for your Torch, you can set it up in a way that’s good for the foreseeable future regardless of which device you’re using.

Convenience is also another one of the main reasons why they are so popular. The BlackBerry Torch only has one memory card slot and it’s behind the battery. So accessing multiple memory cards is a hassle. You have to unplug the device, remove the backing, remove the battery, remove the current card, insert the new card, replace the battery, replace the backing and connect the device. Rinse and repeat. With a memory card reader, you simply pull out the current card and insert the new card. Better yet, most modern memory card readers have at least several slots, which let you access multiple cards easily.

Other advantages include compactness and portability. Most modern memory card readers are barely larger than the cards they access, even those that support multiple slots. This means that working at home is cleaner since there are no messy wires involved. And the devices are small enough that you can take it with you to the office or even on the road when your travel. Most card readers are sturdy units and will hold up for years, and that way you don’t have to abuse your Torch by constantly removing and inserting memory cards.

Many consumers believe card readers to be expensive. The good news is that they’re actually not that expensive. And if you were planning to buy a sync-charge data cable for your Torch anyway, it won’t cost that much extra to buy a memory card reader instead. So before leaving the online shop with your brand new case and screen protector, consider investing in a memory card reader. The advantages make it worth it.

Keep the BlackBerry Torch Up and Running

With all the different types of rechargeable batteries available today, one can easily get confused to what would be the best thing to have installed in their cell phone. While there’s a lot of talk about Li-Ion batteries today, they’re more expensive than other types of rechargeable, especially Ni-Cads. The question this naturally raises in many people’s minds is, “Is it all hype, or are the Li-Ion batteries really better?” The quick answer is, yes. Let’s take a moment to look at your cell phone, how you use it, and how to make sure you get the most out of it.

We must realize that the newest generations of cell phones are changing the way the average person communicates and accesses information. While the invention of cell phones has caused a massive shift from “land-line” phones and vastly increased ability to communicate; that shift will be eclipsed by the paradigm shift that the connection of cell phones to the Internet will cause. The race is still on to see where this technology connection is going to take us.

Accessing the Internet through cell phones means that those phones are active much more time than before. Between the increased screen time and the increased transmission time, battery drain is much higher than with older phones. Of all possible Accessories you can buy, a Li-Ion battery is the best possible investment you can make for your phone.

But here’s the truth: Lithium-Ion batteries are just superior to the regular rechargeable batteries. These batteries don’t just add give you more power than the stock battery, but they also charge faster too. With modern fast chargers, you can recharge Li-Ion batteries in 30 minutes, instead of the typical 3-1/2 hours of other types of batteries. Not only that, but the requirement of allowing your battery to totally die, as you have to in order to insure long life of Ni-Cd batteries, is eliminated. What this means for you is that you’ll be able to spend more time using your BlackBerry Torch and less time waiting for its batteries to recharge.

Today, more than ever, your cell phone has become a valuable business tool. Like any tool, the better you learn to use it, the more you can accomplish with it. As a valuable tool, protecting it is part of properly using it. The most sensitive and easily damaged part of any touch screen phone is the screen, so that’s the part which needs to be protected the most. A screen protector will help protect your screen from scratches. Next to having a case, this is the most important thing you can do to insure the long life of your phone.

Between the accessories I have mentioned here, you can probably guess that the Blackberry. Not just a phone, but a way of tying all your communications needs together; whether they be through voice, text, e-mail or accessing information on the Internet. With the long life that you can expect from your battery, you won’t have to worry about losing communications in the middle of a meeting, business trip, or just surfing the ‘net. Your phone, your communications system, your life, your security, they all fit together.

The Newly Released BlackBerry Torch

BlackBerry’s new Torch smart phone is a popular device which has gotten quite a bit of media attention around its launch. The Torch is BlackBerry’s representation to be on par with the latest Android phones and iPhone. While Blackberry has still retained a respectable amount of market share, they have completely lost media hype and have been relegated to being the default corporate phone.

The Torch has a number of firsts. It is the first BlackBerry slider phone with their new OS 6. Traditionally, BlackBerry has been known for having dedicated keyboards. They did go to a touch screen model with the BlackBerry Storm; however that was never a very successful phone.

The Torch keeps a dedicated keyboard, but hides it with a slider feature, thus moving on to the new touch-screen format while still maintaining the functionality of their full keyboard. The screen is a capacitive touch screen with a half VGA resolution. Unlike the Storm, the Torch has a very responsive and successful touch screen.

The new operating system provides a number of benefits. Most notable is the new Webkit based browser, which offers a nicer web browsing experience. Although BlackBerry was the first phone to utilize internet access, they never upgraded their browsing experience which kept them way behind the loop against other smart phones. In addition to the noticeably better browsing experience, the user interface has been improved. Large icons make good use of the limited screen space, and it is easy not only to navigate the phone, but also to customize it to make it more personal and easier to use.

Although the Torch is a very good phone, users may still wish to purchase accessories, just like with any other phone. Accessories which a user may want to consider purchasing include cases and screen protectors. If you mind the bulkiness of this device, then you might want to consider buying a thin case.

With that said, it is safe to note that the Torch is a great device. It really makes some much-needed improvements to the BlackBerry line of phones to help make them more modern and more competitive. The Torch is at least as good as many other smart phones, although unfortunately it may not be better. Maybe this wasn’t the direction that Blackberry wanted to go in, but it ended up being a good direction from a consumers point of view.
