Fuel cells for notebooks and PDA's
Check out http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,116591,00.asp for an interesting atricle about using fuel cells in smaller appliances like notebooks and PDA's.
This could have a real impact on our ebook reading in the future... Craig. |

On a related note, an news article on infosync world (http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/5045.html) heralds hope for better battery life in the near future for phones and other portable peripherals like PDAs and notebooks due to a new chip design which is more power efficient, providing up to 10 times more effective use of current batteries...
