Hasta La Ideas

We have sometimes made fun of Philips for their often pretty un-cool products. But this time they have come up with something we think is more worthy of applause than razzberries. Philips’ new mobile telephone, the Xenium 9@9j (coming in April) has a new smart feature – room for spare power. The phone has a slot for an ordinary AAA battery to be used when the re-chargeable battery runs out of power. The AAA backup is said to provide up to three hours of extra yada-yada time. The downside is of course that the phone is a little bigger, but that we are definitely willing to forgive.brbr
