I’m not sure I’d be willing to call it a ‘powerhouse’, but Virgin America has begun selling the Helio Ocean 2, and make that claim. Is anyone actually still on the Helio (now Virgina America) network? Better yet, is anyone (who reads GadgetReview) gonna actually buy this phone let alone sign up for a service that just went bankrupt?
The Helio Ocean 2 can be yours for $150 after a 2-year contract.

Ha! You thought the ‘wave’ and ‘floating’ were tech speak. Wrong! Although the patent was filed back in February of this year, it was just recently spotted by a Slashdotter. So what is it? A data center that’s powered and cooled by the ‘motion of the ocean’ and resides 7 miles from the coast. In some case, wind turbines could be added for extra energy. Another company, IDS, plans to launch a similar project, although there idea calls for using ‘discarded cargo ships’.
