Exradia launches radiation-shielding phone batteries

Parents and corporates targeted customers

TIMING IS everything and on the day a new study says that mobile phones don't cause brain cancer, UK based Exradia decided to launch its radiation shielding batteries to selected UK journalists.

These are the same guys who recently called for more government research into the health issues raised by mobile phone usage after they were proved to affect sleep patterns.
The company hasn't quite shot itself in the foot, however, because worried parents and litigation-averse corporates might still buy into Exradia's technology.

Multiple studies have consistently show than Exradia's techniques effectively neutralise potentially dangerous phone radiation.
Consequently for £24.99 (circa $50) Exradia's radiation-shielding Angle batteries are being pushed out through regular mobile industry channels.

The company claims that its range of 18 different batteries cover something like 80 per cent of the most popular handsets.
Exradia is banking on the fact that parents worried about the long term effects of mobile phone usage on their children simply won't take the risk and buy the batteries anyway.

So will businesses which mandate the use of mobile phones by their workforce. Why take the risk when $50 can avoid a nasty health and safety law suit?

David Schick, Exradia's CEO, revealed that the technology can be adapted to other forms of wireless communications including DECT/cordless phone, Wi-fi enabled laptops and get this ... baby monitors.

He also claimed that the technology could be built-in by handset manufacturers for an additional cost of as little as ten pence.

Schick maintains that the technology – which took 20 years to perfect – actually works, which is more than can be said for crystals which some consumers glue to their handset's casing. µ

On offer...

How about I take some baking foil, cut out a 6" square and put a small hole in the middle.

Then I place this square against my ear and hey-presto I've shielded my head from naughty radio waves blasting into my head from my evil phone?

If you're interested, I'll sell you it for £9.99. Now I can't say fairer than that can I?

Rubber bands to hold my 'device' against your head will cost you extra though..

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
