No it’s not solar energy, Its Kinetic Energy. Like Friction,Static, Body Energy.
It recharges, literally by Using it with your hands.

So it charges when you use it? What does that mean? Is it solor? I don’t under stand what you mean by that? Most every battery powerd device requires a plugin and charg time.

Ya I have heard of the Mayan Calender thing. Not alarming to me. They created a system to follow the solor systems rotation. But every system brakes down or stops.

@ coolio:

It\’s actually just the end of the Mayan Calender. There have been numerous predictions about what will happen, the end of the world one of them.

I remember watching videos of this in school, but it\’s been so long, I\’ve forgotten how the system of the calender works.

Anyway, I don\’t think anything will happen, and if it does, then I guess there\’s no sense in worrying about it.

The phone looks awesome, I wish some of these would start to go into the actual development phase. If we look back 50 or so years, we can see all the technological advances we have made, but now everything seems to be still. Obviously that\’s not true, it just feels that way since time goes by so slow when your actually alive. It\’s easy to look back and think that 50 years went by quickly, only \’cause you weren\’t alive as the advances were being made, but I\’ve been alive 18 years, and it\’s gone by slow as hell. Hahaha

I\’m all for new technology, just don\’t let it die in the concept phase!

The hype is that the world will end in 2012, according to the mayans and egyptians. I think the design is so sweet!

This product looks nice.
What communications structure does it use?
Who is going to provide the survice?
How long will the batterys last?

What is the hype about the year 2012?

What is the hype about year 2012?

This product looks really nice.
How long will it hold a charge?

Its 2012 not 2010…my mistake….

Hmmmm…..I wonder why the phone says 20:10 on the screen….youve all heard the hype I am sure about the year 2010…

Anyway,

I really really like the concept here. If I could impliment the kinetic charging feature into my current phone i would be in heaven, My current phone has gps i use alot and will also broadcast my data connection via wifi so i can share it with all my other wifi enabled devices. the battery lasts about # hours with wifi on. Now if this phone had the same features as my current phone I along with many many other people would be sure to buy it.

I was suprised to see this phone is by kyocera. I hav eonly ever seen kyocera phones being used for virgin mobile prepay plans and the quality of the phones has always been a bit sub par when compared to other phones from other manufacturers and carriers.

The EOS does not look very practical to talk on. maybe if the number pad….wait…the keyboard is made up of physical buttons and looks to be just a qwerty keyboard with the shift key and 123 button to change functions of existing buttons however they are not labled with numbers. Would be really nice if right beofre you very eyes the buttons transformed so to speak.

What my point was is that I think it would feel wierd to talk on. other than that is a very nice concept. And touch screen would be an absolute must.

Christine I love you!

I will probably confuse it with cheese and accidentally try to eat it in a sandwitch.

This is the kind if integration of advances in materials applied to solve energy and portability/configuration issues that people will flock too as a result of excellent design.

Interesting idea…but it does seem kind of fragile. I like how the keys pop up like that when you need them. I assume this is going to be a touch screen? The article didn’t really say. I can’t wait to see this technology in use!
