Grab the cat by the tail and plug it into the uctb (universal cat tail bus) and charge it up on cat power!
disclaimer:
Warning may drain cat!
Do not leave cat plugged in for extended periods of time or leave cat unattended...

Actually it is a grand idea theoretically ...
quite a few sci-fi plots are of ships an devices which are organically based...grand premise.
Just gotta have a plentitude of localized cat to power the suckers...

OR a piezoelectric case fabric that charges as you move

Something like http://edition.cnn.com/2004/TECH/12/...bot/index.html ?

On the other hand, flies can be hard to catch, and one can easily get
out of sugar... but we carry a lot of blood everywhere we go. A builtin needle and suddenly all these 'my phone sucks!' get solid ground.

And "Feeed me, Seymour!" as low-battery warning.

Yes, exactly something like that.

The only thing is...

At this stage, EcoBot II is a "proof-of-concept" robot and travels only at roughly 10 centimeters per hour.
...how many flies can it catch at that speed?

Realistically it would be Nexus 5 w pure SfOS 2.1 plus Maru OS plus SFDroid.

Ideally Fairphone 2 SfoS 2.1.

hmmm..
y'know this premise of devices running on organics is coming awfully close to this kinda outcome....
forget uctb power...
ultimately it would end up being uhbb (universal human brain bus) powered...
such as in the dystopic outcome from the movie Skyline...

Have you tried Cobalt's solution (from CrackBerry forums) for the Google services on BB10? It's supposed to work well, if you set it up correctly.
