With temperatures well over 30°C outside my office I doubt I'll be needing this product anytime soon, but for those who suffer from cold hands during the winter Spire has released a new product called Thermal Stone. It's a compact palm heater with two temperature modes (39°C and 45°C), it stays warm for up to 10 hours and recharges in less than 3 hours through the enclosed power adapter, but you can also recharge it via USB. The Spire Thermal Stone should be available in retail stores for around $42.99 (31.95EUR).
The Thermal Stone is a complete new innovation from the leaders in pc cooling. Instead of cooling things down, Spire is turning things around and bringing you warmth. This little device is a small heater that helps you get rid of cold hands or other cold body parts, joint pain, stress, muscle pain, neck or back pain. How does it work: The Thermal Stone is build with a PET electric film inside which generates instant heating. The temperature is manually controlled and preset at two temperature modes (39C/45C). The Thermal Stone is rechargeable through the USB port on your computer/notebook or via the supplied 110V-240 outlet adapter which is convenient for global use. When massaging with the thermal stone, blood circulation improves which relieves stress, pain and relaxes the muscles & mind. The Thermal Stone is also great for the outdoor life, camping, hiking fishing, playing golf and many more.
