24-Hour Power Cells for Wearable PCs

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the gimme-more-of-that-wearable-love dept.

Stacey Brewer sent us linkage to a press release from Xybernaut DCH Technology to work on 24-hour fuel cells for use with their Mobile Assistant: a crazy little wearable that yes, will run Linux. I need a demo unit, darnit!

    Power issues for mobile devices will prove to be a real rain on the their parade.

    I've read what seems like 10,000 articles in the popular (and even technical) press that predict mobile computing will be super huge in 3 to 5 years time. Here in Europe, we'll have GPRS and 2Mb/s on our handheld devices by 2002 (apparently), so journos are predicting we'll have full-motion video feeds, etc., on our cellphones and the like.

    Well, we might, but we'll also have to develop full-on biceps to carry the batteries that will have to power the things.

    More reserch money for power!
