Orange Dance Charge for mobile phones

Do you often suffer from the curse of the flat mobile phone battery when you need to make an important telephone call?

There is one way to make sure your mobile phone never goes flat again - turning on the music and dancing your socks off.

Yes, mobile company Orange has unveiled the Orange Dance Charge, a kinetic energy portable phone charger. The Dance Charge weighs 180grams and measures 4¼� x 2½�, approximately the same size as a pack of cards and the same weight as a mobile phone.

The unit comes encased in an elasticated, black, neoprene strap with Velcro attachments which is attached over the wearer’s bicep in a similar fashion to a runner’s arm-mounted mp3 player.

According to Orange, the device is the result of months of research into alternate, sustainable energy sources to power mobile phones during summer music festivals.

Models of the Dance Charge that will be tested at this year’s Glastonbury Festival, taking place at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset from 27-29 June.
