Ideal Gadget

You’re in the middle of nowhere, camping with your friends… Being dragged there by them unwillingly you forget to bring your phone charger (not that it is useful when there is absolutely no place for you to plug it in!) and you just cannot get away from watching your favourite TV program from your 3G phone or you missed your girlfriend already even though you’ve just been away for 4 hours. Your phone’s battery is growing weaker by the minute because there’s just too many trees intercepting your signal that your phone’s working extra hard to get the ‘yellow guy’ a.k.a. Digi signal. What to do?

a) You should fully charged your phone before embarking on the camping trip
b) You should have bring extra batteries
c) Expose your phone’s battery under direct sunlight (hey it works okay, but there’s side effects to the battery’s life)
d) You should have read this review (and get the gadget I’m about to mention)
