Motorola Makes Gasoline Powered Cell Phones

Wister285 writes "Well, now that PDAs are integrated with cell phones, you'll need some extra juice to power that thing. Motorola seems to think that the next generation of cell phones needs to be powered by gas (fuel cells). Supposedly these cell phones can last for a whole month without needing to be recharged. Batteries are not being eliminated since the "power plant" of the phone is located on the user's belt. Seems interesting. Gives a whole new meaning to "Fill 'er up!""

    So, if I eat lots of chili con carne, I can power the thing myself off of my own naturally occuring emissions.

    Methinks it stinks.
