A mobile phone that runs for ‘up to’ 10 hours on a single AA battery.

It’s called the SpareOne.

Due to begin shipping in March, the SpareOne phone from California-based XPAL Power is a dual-band GSM cell phone that offers up to 10 hours of talk time on just a single Alkaline, NiMH or Lithium AA battery.

The covers of all seven recently announced prequels to the best selling graphic novel of all time – Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ seminal 1987 Watchmen.

The new titles will be released in weekly miniseries form by DC Entertainment.

Watchmen diehards aren’t impressed. Alan Moore – who considers the original series/graphic novel to be complete and wanted nothing to do with Zack Snyder’s 2009 movie adaptation or any prequels or sequels – has described the project as ‘completely shameless’.

Gibbons, on the other hand – who advised Snyder on the movie – has given his blessing.
