Mobile Charger saves Data while Charging

The BBC reports on a genius patent filed by two Irish businessmen: an intelligent mobile phone charger, which downloads all data from the mobile phone while it's charging.

"When a mobile phone is lost or stolen, the numbers are retained on the charger. By entering a Pin, users can upload that information into a new handset once they have a replacement.

The pair have yet to make a working prototype, but are already in talks with operators including Siemens."
