Cell phone doubles as a handwarmer

The other day, I was calling a friend through Skype on my HTC Touch Dual phone. After we talked, my phone was about as hot as the bottom of a laptop. Our chat through Skype (on my end only) also did a number on my battery—about 20 percent in 20 minutes.

In general, cell phone overheating is common when you use device intensive applications, such as playing music or watching videos, and talk extensively. Be careful of the heat that a cell phone can generate.

But, also keep it in mind during the coming winter months.
