Researchers at Georgia Tech developed a lithium-ion coin-sized battery that can Recharge itself from Movements, That's mean that you cellphone can have a wearable battery to put it on your shoes so that it can charge from your movements.

How does this all work?

The usual dividers between electrodes have been replaced with a polyvinylidene difluoride film that uses piezoelectrics to recharge the battery by adding pressure to that small gap. This all works without any outside voltage being added to the mix which means that your own movement creates the pressure required to recharge the cell. The researchers came up with the battery inside the shoe test to prove how the pressure of each footstep on the shoe was able to power up the battery.

Recently, Many older android Smartphones are getting Android latest version 4.1 Jelly Bean through ports made by communty developers. Today, We will see Android Jelly Bean build 4.1.1 running on the World's first commercially sold Android phone "T-Mobile G1".

This hack was put together by the folks at SoCal Devs and they have details on how to go about doing it on xda-developers forums. While it's not exactly Project Butter nor is it particularly stable, the phone does seem to be able to run it somehow.

We heard about Samsung's Flexible AMOLED screens known as YOUM, these displays are light, thin and flexible that can bend over 180-degree and it will be use on Smartphones starting Next year but What the use if you can bend the display but you can't bend the phone because of the solid battery !?

Well, the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology with Professor Keon Jae Lee, has developed a Flexible battery than can bend, twist and fold without losing power or performance. You can check out the video below to see the direction that smartphone batteries might be taking. While you might think that these flexible parts are being developed to make devices that more easily fold up in your pocket, the main concept is to develop parts less likely to break under certain circumstances.

Today We have the technology that can make plain old voice calls sound even better and clear. We are talking about Sprint, which will be launching its HD Voice service before the end of 2012. Sure, it might not be available to subscribers in all markets initially, but the nationwide rollout of the technology should be complete by some time in 2013 or 2014.

Sprint said about HD Voice technology "the next-generation evolution of voice quality and the future of voice communications for mobile phones."

If you own more than one Smartphone, each of them needs a data plan and this is overly expensive. AT&T will gives you a great solution for this problem, as the carrier is the first to be launching shared data plans.

With data caps ranging from 1GB to 20GB, shared data plans are designed to unify your data usage under one plan, rather than having a different data subscription for every device you own. Each shared data plan requires you to sign up a smartphone, which will receive unlimited talk and text.

From there on, you can have up to 9 different devices (tablets, laptops, etc.) to share those prepaid megabytes no need for tethering as long as your device is 3G enabled. The only nitpick is that there's an extra charge if one of those additional devices is a smartphone.
