Your Phone is Charged Please Unplug
28 September 2006 by axxxr A project of the European Commission agreed to include alerts on Mobile phones they make that will remind people to unplug their charger once a phone is fully charged.
Thanks to the decision of a mobile industry task force led by Nokia,you might be hearing these words from your phone next year.The members of the task force,a project of the European Commission (EC), agreed to include audio alerts on phones they make that will remind people to unplug their charger once a phone is fully charged. If 10 percent of the world's mobile phone owners did this,the group's final report said, it would reduce energy consumption by an amount equivalent to that used by 60,000 European homes per year. Nokia announced that it will have the alerts in place on its phones by the middle of 2007.source:treehugger
