Top and Worst Phone Improvements

After viewing this article from CNN, I picked out phone innovations that could be prove to be a success or slump.

Top Three Innovations:
1. Water Resistant Devices
With this new feature, anyone could go to the pool, bathroom, or the shower with your phone without worrying about getting it wet. Watch a movie, read a book, or make a phone call, all of this is possibility in the water.
2. Pillow Charger
This new charger might actually be trendy and appealing towards the youth. Adorable and it comes in different colors. Small and compact, plus it also gets rid of all the wires. Seems very convenient when used for traveling.
3. Solar Powered Devices
A photovoltaic screen on a phone or tablet could be quite useful. Charging your phone between texts can basically use up no battery at all. A single PV display cost around $1, which is very insignificant when comparing to the overall price of a device. Not only is it cheap to produce, it's also environmentally friendly. The only flaw is how are you able to recharge an entire battery with a PV array so small? It'll probably take days to charge your phone, even when you're not even using it.

Worst Three Innovations:
1. Nokia's 105 (35 day battery)
A phone with a 35-day long-lasting battery? With no other features, but making calls? Ridiculous. Not only does this phone doesn't have any games or apps, it looks horrendous. We're not going back in time. This phone is meant for people who are lazy or is unable to charge their phones. This won't be a bad idea if the long-lasting battery concept was imposed on newer phones, such as the iPhone or Androids.
2. Sensirion Micro Temperature Sensor
This entire innovation is unnecessary. The need to determine the percise temperature and humidity in your location is redundant. You could use programs like WeatherBug to find these information. Also, the body heat and the sweat of your hands might disrupt these readings.
3. Fujitsu's Generation walking stick
A stick with a GPS program and monitoring features, targeted for the elderly, might have some flaws. With this much program tech, it might add a considerably amount of weight to the stick. The GPS might not be necessary, since the elderly don't tend to walk far distances. If this concept was input to, let's say a bracelet or necklace, it might actually find some success.
