This is so geeky but when you hit that dreaded 20% battery mark, you'll be glad to have a battery on your hip. This reminds me of the Everpurse, a purse with a built-in charger.

@rrhoover There's the designer version too, for those who are anti-geeky. :)

The idea of wearing my power is interesting. I carry a 6000-mAh battery pack by Jackery everywhere I go, but it's a little bulky and cumbersome. Another solution is the idea of power hotspots via recent Techstars-grad Chargifi. http://chargifi.com

@kicksopenminds That's cool! Is that inductive charging built into public spaces?
Taylor Edmiston
@piersridyard Yes. Here's a 1-min demo video that explains it a little more and alludes to their business model.

I'm still bummed the Volt Buckle didn't get funded - https://www.indiegogo.com/projec... . This XOO would be a fun gimmick, but $250? WTF?

Interesting! Id want to see them in person first tho to make sure they aren't to bulky or cheap, but I love the idea! If they can really nail the style and make it minimal this could be amazing.

@seanalyn Here's a video with some of the styles on the catwalk. I've seen the belt - it's not too thick. It's like a normal belt.

Curious how much safer a ceramic polymer battery is vs. a conventional lithium ion battery. I've had unpleasant experiences before with external batteries malfunctioning and would not one that close to my important parts!

@rrhoover - for extra geeky kicks, you can see me destroy one of the batteries in the belt to demonstrate how cool the tech inside is too :-D http://youtu.be/kYf_XYO80ew

@rrhoover @piersridyard This is great — goes a long way to ease my concerns about malfunctioning batteries on my body.

Just think if they joined forces with @getampy... a wearable that recharges your wearables #meta

@getampy @dwyper haha - yes!!! We'd genuinely love to work with Ampy! Love their tech, what they have achieved in that form factor is no small feat of engineering.
