We at Absolute Gadget love our mobiles and we love heading off to walk around 200 thousand tonnes of mud that is sometimes a music festival called Glastonbury. But what to do when you mobile runs out of juice and your tent doesn't have an electrical socket. Orange has the answer - start dancing!
Or more accurately, the mobile phone company is trailing a new device
that you wear on your arm. Called "Dance Charge", the gadget fits
around your arm like a bracelet and its collections of magnets and and
weights move about to produce electircal current that is stored in a
battery that you can then connect to your phone to charge it up, long
enough to phone your mates to tell them that you have just seen a bunch of people walking around in multicoloured catsuits.
