The VoltNow Power Wallet can stash your cash and charge your smartphone

"The Power Wallet features a 4,000mAh battery and integrated micro-USB and Lightning cables"

We've all faced the impending doom of our smartphone's battery running out of juice. While power banks do save the day, it's not possible to always haul around a hefty battery pack in our pockets. Recognising - and rectifying - this conundrum is the Power Wallet from VoltNow, which comes in the form factor of a premium leather wallet.

The Power Wallet comes in two form factors - a leather wallet, and a leather folio holder. Both variants offer a power capacity of 4,000mAh, and built in micro-USB and Lightning adapters for charging most mobile devices on the go.
While the Folio holder comes with six card slots and two stash pockets, the wallet comes with three card slots and a separate ID card slot.


The company claims that the inbuilt battery within the wallets can charge a device twice. The battery can last for up to 1,000 charge cycles, which is pretty decent for a power bank.

Integrating power banks into paraphernalia has been the norm for quite some time. Earlier instances of this technology included the Power Card from MOTA (and a host of other companies) which fit a power bank in the form factor of a card. More specialised examples include incorporating a power bank or a full-fledged battery into backpacks and luggage trolleys, for charging mobile devices on the go.


The Power Wallet from VoltNow is an ongoing Kickstarter campaign, with a retail price of $60 (~Rs 4,000) for the wallet and $80 (~Rs 5,400) for the Folio holder, with deliveries expected by September. A fresh campaign, it has already raised $4,736 of its $7,500 goal amount, with more than a month left for completion

re-writeable paper ?

  Heard of re-writeable CD or drives , ever heard of re-writeable paper ?                            Printing has come a long way since the computer landed on the desktop. First,there were daisy-wheel printers, then dot-matrix printers, then inkjet and laser printers . The problem with all of these output devices, of course, is that they require paper -- lots of it -- and expensive consumables, like toner. Why can't someone invent an inkless, tonerless printer that allows the operator to reuse paper? As it turns out, this isn't a new idea. Xerox has been working with so-called electronic paper since the 1970s. Its most promising solution is a type of paper called "Gyricon." A Gyricon sheet is a thin layer of transparent plastic containing millions of small oil-filled cavities. A two-colored bead is free to rotate inside each cavity. When a printer applies a voltage to the surface of the she...

As they say, life with a smartphone is like having a second brain in your pocket. However, there are times when this second brain goes dead because of something as trivial as your phone running out of battery.  With most buyers focusing on phones with bigger displays and faster and more power-hungry processors, the humble battery pack that actually brings all the magic to life is often forgotten. But having said that, a big battery on a low spec, or worse a badly designed phone is also of no use. So here's our list of phones that not just offer great battery life but also come with best specs (well, almost).   Moto E4 Plus Kicking things off is the recently launched Moto E4 Plus which brings with it a massive 5000 mAh battery pack, a 5.5-inch 720p display, a fingerprint sensor running on Android 7.1.1. It's also equipped with a capable MediaTek MT 6737 quad-core processor clocking at 1.3GHz paired with 3GB RAM. There's also 32GB of inbuilt storage...
