Cheapest Way To Charge Your Phone

Charge Your Phone with Your Shoes:

In order to promote the green mobile technology, scientists from all around the world are doing efforts. A Kenyan man has introduced a new invention in terms to support the green mobile technology by taking part in the race of expertise technologies. His invention is called by the name of shoe powered charger.
Anthony Mutua is 24 years of age and he has stunned the word by creating a very sleek crystal chip that can be fitted into the shoe soles and can generate electricity by putting the pressure of human weight on it.
The mobile phones can be connected to this device through the medium of a thin extension cord. It is costing about 46$ at the moment. The walk is not only confined as an exercise but with this device it has become as the source of generating electricity and charging phones as well. In his explanations he has addressed that the chip can be fitted in any kind of shoes except the bedroom slippers. He also mentioned that the device is capable of working efficiently for three years on careful use.
At the first he introduced the prototype at the Science and Innovation Week, which was held in Nairobi. Since then, he is aiming to contract with some top shoe industries for the mass production of his idea. He also claimed that, once the device is well spread all around the globe, it will gain the popularity very fast and the people will love to rely on this device so that it can even charge several handsets in only one walk.
The engineering students of the University of Wisconsin also revealed a similar in-shoe technology at the Science and Innovation Week. Their prototype was concerned on the thermodynamic power that is generated through footsteps. They also declared that they have already founded a company for them by the name of InStep NanoPower and they will make sure the availability of this technology in 2013.
Not only shoes but the scientists have already introduced the t-shirts having similar ability to charge cell phones last year in the Glastronbury festival in England. The shirts have the amazing capability of capturing sound vibrations and generating electricity by them. Talking about the technological inventions, solar panel Bonsai chargers and Starke bikes are also worth mentioning here. By pushing pedals of the bike, you can generate enough electricity that can charge your phone in no time. Starke bikes also promote the exercise and the cause “green mobile technology”.
The generating electricity procedures of this kind are helpful in the under developing countries, in which people don’t have enough sources to stand along with the emerging technologies of the world. The electricity lines and the availability of electricity hours of these countries are also not reliable for people to keep their phones charged. Mutua’s device is a perfect source for that poor community of under developing countries.

Why is Android Eating up Apple’s Market?

Although Android by Google and iOS by Apple enjoy a lion’s share of world market, yet Apple have had an edge over Android over the years. But a recent surge in the sale of Android based devices has created an alarming situation for Apple as Android is really eradicating iOS from world market. For instance in China, Android market share has staggeringly risen from just 33.6% to massive 68.4%. Inversely, Apple’s share lags behind even Symbian that enjoys 18% of the market.

Android VS Apple:

One of the biggest reasons in this gradual shift in fortunes is the introduction of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It provides everything to the users they want like multitasking, rich notifications and deep interactivity. There are many more reasons why Android is eating up Apple market share but some important facts have been discussed in the following lines.

Better User Interface:

Unlike iOS, Android presents much evolved and modern interface. The best feature of Android is the navigation buttons, which are absent in its competitor. Android phones consists of Back, multitasking and menu buttons, which makes navigation easy without hassling to search virtual buttons; whereas, iPhones have only one home button. Furthermore, Android is more customizable features where you can separate home page from application page. In iOS you only see a page full of applications and nothing more which makes interface little boring.

Easy to manage:

Android offers an easy way to manage your notifications, recent applications and browsing with the help of tabs. You can use a simple swipe of one finger to dismiss your recent applications and other things that is much more simple than iOS where you have to do it harder way.

Widgets are resizable:

This feature is exclusively the property of Android and Apple fails to present any matching substitute. The customizable home screen allows embedding the content of live application directly through various different widgets. You no longer need to launch application and can send email or flip calendars right from these widgets.

On the other hand, there is nothing more boring than iOS retina screens where you see a grid of icons page after page to launch an application.

Powerful voice input:

Android incorporates powerful voice input whereas voice input in iOS is rather weak and sluggish. Android consists of a robust voice input engine that makes voice streaming really sensational. The engine allows to record voice in real time and you can see what you are writing unlike iPhone where you have to wait after speaking is done to see the outcome. You can record sound for unlimited period of time and in any language you want in Android 4.0. Apple iOS might still be excellent for voice recording as it allows searching from web directly but unfortunately it is suitable for only entertainment purposes. The main reason behind this is that it is still based on vanquished beta form which lacks many important features.

Social Networking:

Android totally dominates Apple in this field of effective networking as well. Android facilitates almost all community sites in its latest version like Facebook and twitter. You feel yourself as a part of huge social community whereas Apple has limited links to most of social sites, which obviously is not the best for promoting globalism.

Utility:

As far as utility is concerned Android is much superior to its counterpart. Android offers much more variety both in terms of hardware and software. IOS is limited only to Apple hardware and is very strict in this regard which has made its use somewhat limited.

Android is an open source and it is available to any mobile manufacturer to use it. That is why it is more popular among the people worldwide as they can use their favorite OS on their favorite brand.

Google experience:

Google is the most popular internet search and if you are a Google fan than it this is for you. Android provides the immaculate Google experience consisting of Gmail, Google maps and other Google products. Android is going to include Google chrome in near future which will make it a must for Google lovers. No iPhone or other Apple device provides that rich and interesting Google experience to the users.
Hence, Google has discovered a success formulae in the shape of Android. The latest Android version has considerably helped Google to counter the influence of Apple and they have actually managed to grab a major share of market.
