Chinese Mobile Phone Has Two -Year Battery Life

Chinese cell phone with two-year battery life.

Battery life is often the determining factor when we buy consumer electronics products. How does a cell phone with two years of stand-by time sound to you?

A new phone out of China promises just that, giving you two years of stand-by time and two to three days of active talking time -- all without plugging the phone into the charger even once.

You may be thinking this device, Solo Mobi model number ZJ268, would be nothing more than a big battery with a keypad, but the handset actually has Bluetooth support, slots for two SIM cards, keypad AND handwriting input, and MP3 playback capability. The Solo Mobi also has plenty of standard phone applications like calendar, task list, and (of course) a contact list.

The 32800 mAh battery is rated by the manufacturer to operate for 666 days in standby mode, which blows away anything else we've seen on the market.

As best we can tell from the manufacturer Web site, the basic cost of the phone is $128. According to the specifications, it does come with a charger -- but why would you need one?

The good news is that if you can get your hands on one -- either by going to China and buying one or finding it for sale online -- you'll be able to use it with ay T-Mobile or AT&T Wireless SIM card.

Chinese Video Game Kills Corrupt Politicians

Chinese Video Game Lets You Kill Corrupt Politicians

Who knew that a video game cheaply produced by a government agency with graphics that are at least 15 years old could become a bit of a cult hit? The Chinese Communist Party Disciplinary Committee is the financial backer of "The Incorruptible Warrior," a downloadable game popular in China in which you play as an "honest and upright official" whose mission it is to punish corrupt officials, their families and their mistresses. And by punish we mean kill.

The game appears to be an isometric action role playing game, similar to 'Diablo,' where you gather experience by killing the crooked politicians and building skills such as, "Combating corruption," "Moral character" and a "Degree of being corruption free." The game features 165 characters taken straight from Chinese history. The good fight on your side, while the famously corrupt are the target of blood-soaked justice. What the bikini-clad women pictured above are for, we don't know.

We imagine that a similar game made for U.S. politicos might also become a rousing success. Who wouldn't enjoy taking out a few members of our rotten government. Perhaps when they see how much glee the public takes in fantasizing about a bit of the old ultra violence against them, they might start thinking twice about stashing $90,000 in their freezers.
