You probably read this somewhere, but this is pretty interesting.
Engineers at Northwestern University have technically accomplished their new lithium-ion battery technology. By poking millions of tiny holes in it, the battery can hold a charge ten times longer and can recharge ten times faster. In the future, these super batteries could dramatically reduce how often we have to recharge our mobile devices. The engineers predict the batteries could potentially get into the consumer market within five years.
Dr. Harold Kung of Northwestern University said they are able to make all of this possible because they discovered how to squeeze more ions into the battery and increase their movement speed. With the new technology, a typical mobile phone would charge to 100 percent in only 15 minutes, yet last for an entire week on that single charge.
Kung doesn’t see long-term use as an issue either, stating “Even after 150 charges, which would be one year or more of operation, the battery is still five times more effective than lithium-ion batteries on the market today.” He and his team are continuing to work on the incomplete battery technology to make further improvements. Meanwhile, let’s start that five-year countdown.

So I get to produce Steve Jobs's new product: the iLight:

The light uses 12v of electricity to produce a blinding light (fact: if you stare directly into it for more then 5 seconds, it will damage your retina and cause partial blindness). It features LED technology to produce a Warm White light, a battleship gray paint finish on the heat sink, and a stylish design. Its lifespan is estimated at 45 years.
The internet speed of the iLight is 10g using the top secret 10g network. It's so top secret, not even the government knows about it! Oops... I wasn't supposed to mention that...
If you succeed at jailbreaking your iLight, you gain 50% more brightness and 15 increased years of usage. Good luck because Jobs has added a mechanism that fries the MoBo if it comes to contact with air!
In all seriousness:
I was at work one day doing rework on lights. I saw this one and didn't think anything about it. Then when I put it down, I saw that paint spot and thought it looked like the Apple logo. I instantly thought that it failed because it was an Apple product. XD. I showed it to my boss (he has the iPhone 4g) and he got a good kick out of it.
I never did get that light to work... Lol
iLight? iBlind you. Then iTake your moneyz. iLaugh!

Figures.
looks like someones cooking scrambled eggs in an engorged drain
Must be smoking some good s#it in the lighting industry.
good day.

Looks like there is another option out in the market for adding battery to the Note 2. I currently have the Anker 6400mAH extended Battery. However this does pose a good alternative since it adds less in theback and just a tad bit more in the bottom.

Has anybody purchased or tried out? I'm curious to hear what people think. I may get it as a test dummy and report back.
Don't have experience with such case batteries, but I have spoken to someone who has. This particular type you mentioned above is very common on Amazon/ebay in 3200/3600/4000 flavors. It makes phone longer because of the bulk at the bottom and you can't access S-pen anymore - a big negative. There is an alternative someone got from ebay - 3200 mAh version: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350655154588&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
It doesn't make the case longer and keeps the bottom open to access s-pen. The down side of this particular case and other battery flip cases is an average of 500mA Input which makes them charge up very slowly, and the same 500mA-700mA Output which charges the phone slowly as well. Also keep in mind output mAh is rated for 5V output while our battery is 3.7V which means down conversion eats into efficiency of the output thus output capacity will be lower.
Hmmmm didn't consider s pen access. Good point. That other option is interesting. I wonder how it affects NFC.

Not really a review but more of a recommended buy. I got one almost a year ago and I use it pretty rough in my car and neither end is splitting or even look like its breaking and it charges really fast. Here is the link guys and buy in bulk and save money on shipping.
It's the B-Type and I'm sure the rest are good too. Mono price makes some damn good stuff.

I have been using them for years. I just bought 10 - 10 foot cables for ~$1.78 each. The worst trouble I had with any of them was my dog... she loved to eat them.
Seriously, I think I have bought 50-60 over the years (mostly because of my dog) and have only had one fail.
I get their premium cables without the ferrite. I don't find it get interference with from them or from other devices. I also find throughput is little better. I don't buy in that high a bulk. Usually around two to five cables fits my needs.
I manage a team of technicians with Galaxy S5 & LG G2 phones and they always seem to lose cables. My dog that was the cable eater passed away late last year, so this was the first order in quite awhile.
I have also used there in ear headphones ~$8. They are quite good for the money with a 1 year guarantee.
How stupid, blind and loyal do you have to be not to see this glaring fact???

Obvious troll is obvious.
Oh, don't worry the Forbidden Fruit fanboys and girls will claim you don't need such pixel density. In fact, one really doesn't need it, also the GPU has it easier with less pixels to push around.
But no iPhone display has ever had a patch on the beauty of AMOLED. Having a Note 3 at full HD is greatly satisfying for me and, in fact, the GPU has it easy enough, the mobile devices more powerful in existence can be counted on the fingers of my hand.
Battery life. We have it exceptionally easy, we can swap batteries, couple of power saving modes, and the ability to put extended batteries if we so want our phones to last longer...
At 7.1 mm thick, even the 6+ won't have more than 2500 mAh battery. xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Also, Apple will charge 1000 euro for the 128 GB version of the 6+. With that much money, where I live I can get TWO Notes 3, along with two 128 GB microSD cards.

It used to be great now not so much, people keep bringing up the new iPhone cause they think we all give a ****. If I wanted to talk about the new crappy iPhone I'd buy a crappy iPhone and become one of those self centered/self absorbed @$$holes who sits in a Starbucks pretending to have s life.
Lets not do this, regarding Iphones....Thread Closed.
Or is it too outdated now, I'm considering getting this one, I like the placement of the camera and the fact I can choose android or tizen, only drawback for me is the 800mhz processor, so I figured I'd ask other users opinions.

Don't waste your time or money for a product that doesn't have a reasonable way to replace the battery. I bought two of them and the battery completely died with very little use in one of them. I will not buy another Samsung watch.

Well there's not very many smartwatches with removable batteries, so I guess you'd be waiting awhile, if they ever come out with one.
They're 50 to 70 bucks now on eBay, I can understand a faulty charging connector or something though, but I highly doubt something this new would suffer from a completely dead and drained battery already by now.
Got mine ordered and on the way, should be here friday or saturday... Hopefully it's still on Android OS and I don't have to retrograde from Tizen.
Nice though that ya can over clock it to 1.60Ghz, I don't see something that small needing a lot of cpu power anyways.
Happy with it regardless of what all it can or can't do makes me want the Rufus Cuff more now... LoL
