Object Studios designed Sprint’s Battery Boost with wireless accessory manufacturer, Technocel.  During CES 2011, the product won the Innovations 2011 Design and Engineering Award Honors in the wireless handset accessories category.

The Battery Boost “looks like a thumb drive but contains a 600 mAh lithium ion battery that can give your smartphone a power boost when you need it most.  A mini-USB connection extends from the Battery Boost and plugs into your phone (or any other device that has a mini-USB port). The company says the small, durable device can inject enough battery life into a phone to allow up to a full hour of additional talk time. The battery in the Battery Boost recharges via a slide-out USB plug, and you can start recharging the Battery Boost even while it’s busy recharging your phone. A MicroSD card slot at the top of the USB plug lets you store photos, documents, and music files in the device and transfer them via the mini-USB cable to your phone.” –Mark Sullivan

Power Boost is available for purchase at the Sprint Store online or through Technocel and Amazon.com.

Last year, Object Studios’ design for Technocel’s PowerPak won Best of CES Innovations 2010 Design and Engineering Award Honors.
