We have heard this claim before. Too much exposure and use of mobile handsets may lead to cancer. Mobile phone companies have denied this of course, coming out with their own share of studies on the radiation that mobile handsets emit. However a $30 million study may have finally stumbled upon the truth in linking mobile phones and cancer.

This decade-long study has discovered how long-term use of mobile phones are linked to brain tumors. This study by the World Health Organization is expected to be released soon but as early as now, mobile phone users may want to re-think how often and how much they use their cellular phones.

Have you ever thought about how much radiation you are pumping into your body talking on your cell phone all the time? Neither did I until i saw EWG.org’s handset ranking based on radiation output.

As you can see above, phones that output immense amounts of radiation but are still popular include the Blackberry Curve 8330, the T-Mobile myTouch 3G and, sadly, the Blackberry Bold 9000.

And for those of you out there with an iPhone, yes, it outputs a lot of radiaton.

Check out the full list of handsets here.

You’d think this is just another iPhone case and you woudn’t be that wrong. But the truth is that this Pong case for iPhones has something special. It looks like the Pong Research Company has been looking into various ways to reduce radiation coming from the antenna and found an answer. The case is made from tight silicone skin. The skin has some kind of technology module in it designed to draw energy away from your head without sacrificing signal strength. The case costs $59.95 and BlackBerry owners are also going to get Pong cases soon.

And in case you need some numbers to crunch before deciding to get your Pong case, according to FCC testing the radiation levels are lower by up to 60% and hotspot cell phone radiation are lower by 85% when using the case. Happy now?
