Except for weird "screen" form and claimed 15 years of standby life, SpareOne failed to arise much interest. People muse there might be no cell towers in less than 15 years for you to make that life-saving call, pulling last juice from that Energizer bunny. Nobody could also confirm that 15 years battery life estimate. However, the idea of spare emergency phone in your pocket, or glove compartment (or both) for $50 is quite sound, be it 5 years, or all 15 years of waiting for something to happen. Everyone needs something like this as a safety backup phone.
My only desire is that similar, or better battery functionality could be included as a special "emergency" back/case for your regular phone. Such a case may certainly include holder of 1 (or even 2) Energizer accumulator, solar charger skin for it and a high quality, high capacitance capacitor, just like the one shown.
But real life emergencies happen following widely different scenarios, and many such scenarios include losing your main phone in the first place. Adding a SpareOne rules here, provided that you still can get access to it. However, if the idea of stocking a separate spare phone sounds more appealing to you than bringing in emergency-enhanced features to your regular phone, there's no reason that it shouldn't be a cheap spare Android phone with camcorder, full GPS locator and automated call-backs. People with health problems may ask adding pulse, heat beat, blood pressure, blood sugar sensors to it, children must wear one at all times. Such life-saving phones could be activated by many other actions other than pulling out an insulator from SpareOne to activate it which, in case of a crime in progress, might be not in the victim's hands.
SpareTwo anyone?
