Taking a cheapie phone for your foreign travels to Zambukistan is a good idea, right? Well, you might want to try one of these cool–and disposable–pre-paid mobile phones (if they are ever mass produced, that is). You can wrap it around your wrist and never stray too far from your emergency lifeline–provided you have some kind of reception.

Likelihood of being built: 5/10

As phones get better, it’s more likely that travelers will want a sturdy-but-cheap model to take with them for their adventure trips. I’m not sure that this phone will be the cheapest and sturdiest on the market, but I do like the slap-bracelet style.

"but how about using something other than bamboo once in a while? How about some domestically-grown, renewable soft wood?"

Bamboo is extremely durable and resistant to bacteria and disease, resists chipping and facturing from light, heat, and moisture stress.

Softwoods are structurally terrible for most things. It is highly unlikely you will ever see them used in this manner.

Solar Blind - The cost of manufacture and maintain (cleaning) such complex device will outweight the benefit (electricity it generates). It is better to put the solar on the roof.

wow, i just heard about a fabric which supposedly does the same thing as the solar storage sheets. it was at the nano-tech show at the local uni.
