Nokia - Kinetically Charging Cell Phone?

The company has filed a patent for a cell phone - patent application 20,100,045,241 - that will charge up based on the movement of the user. Could this be the start of the next generation of renewable energy cell phones?

Verizon MiFi 2200 Portable Hot Spot

I’m a walking technological disaster. And of course this all happens before finals. Not only did I cause three computers to either freak out or competely stop working yesterday, but I also, somehow magically, deleted my entire iTunes library, meaning I have to add all my music back in and repeat the tedious hours it took for me to weed out the music I don’t want. Why? Because I do everything the hard way, my way. Now my laptop’s battery won’t stay in and I had to pay $100 for a new power cord…don’t let me anywhere near another computer.
This is why you need me to fix things. :)
