« New Year’s Resolution Special: Top 5 Suggested Google Wave Improvements
PC Girl vs. Mac Girl, the Gloves Come Off »


The Consumer Electronics Show is like a circus. Some of the stuff you could really go for, and some other stuff you could do without. I’m labeling this concept model by Chinese designer Daizi Zheng a “dud.” Here’s what Zheng had to say about his invention:

Through out my research, I found that phone battery as a power source, it is expensive, consuming valuable resources on manufacturing, presenting a disposal problem and harmful to the environment.

The concept is using bio battery to replace the traditional battery to create a pollution free environment.

Bio battery is an ecologically friendly energy generates electricity from carbohydrates (currently sugar) and utilizes enzymes as the catalyst.

By using bio battery as the power source of the phone, it only needs a pack of sugary drink and it generates water and oxygen while the battery dies out.

Bio battery has the potential to operate three to four times longer on a single charge than conventional lithium batteries and it could be fully biodegradable.

Don’t get me wrong; it’s definitely a good idea, but the practicality of this product is, at best, questionable. I wouldn’t be caught dead carrying around a phone like that, and until they come up with a model that satisfies my aesthetic needs, my pockets will be Coke-free for awhile longer.

So what do you guys think? Deal or dud?

Meh, I prefer Pepsi and Dr. Pepper.

How about Diet Coke? Diet Coke > Coke.
