Pocketheat Overheats Your iPhone, Warms Your Chilly Hands

by Caleb Johnson on January 6, 2010 at 09:20 AM

Are you too cool for gloves? Even those fingerless ones that only hipsters (and the homeless) wear? If you answered yes, then surely you also own an iPhone -- the ultimate barometer of anybody's coolness these days. So just how does one remain both hip and warm this winter? With a new application called Pocketheat, of course. According to Gizmodo, the app uses 100-percent of the device's processing power to heat up its components, and thus, your hands. On the screen, there's a knob that you can slide from a low to a high setting, and coils that glow orange when it warms up. Don't expect to heat your apartment with an iPhone after downloading this application. But it costs just $0.99, and according to some reviews on the product page, it does provide a pleasant (but brief) warmth in your palm. [From: Gizmodo, via: Ubergizmo]
