Rumors were sparking last year when there was talk of a Google phone coming out (the “Google Switch, Gphone”). Then we heard about Samsung teaming with the search giant to get the touchscreen development down. Now the news is out about the Gphone having Blackberry like features and available across multiple carriers instead of being locked down on one like Apple’s iPhone. There’s going to be a phone battle this summer for sure! When will Microsoft chime in on this?

When Apple’s iPhone was announced earlier this year the crowd went wild. Then we saw pics of LG Prada’s phone, and they looked surprisingly somewhat similar. With the iPhone launching later this summer, the LG is going to be launched on March 22nd. Owners are going to have to dish out quite a bit, $800 US, for this designer branded touch screen phone. So who will win out? Two big names will be battling it out this summer, and there will only be one big winner. Apple’s OSX inspired touch screen phone, and LG’s Spiffy Prada.

Do you find yourself out in the woods with a low mobile battery? No cord, no power, and a giant need to make or take a call? What do you do? MakeZine has a pretty sweet tutorial video on how to make some power to juice up your cell phone via a handcrank flashlight.

Simple Steps involved:

• Take apart handcrank flashlight.
• Solder in a 12 volt car adapter for the phone.

If you find yourself with power on your cell frequently, this could be something thats extremely simple for you to make up.

Or you can always get the Viatek Dynamo 3 LED Flashlight with a cell phone charging outlet for roughly the same price as the typical hand cranking flashlight.
