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!""

Lighter phones?

[Domini]

If the power cells start containing gasses... then phones will become much lighter.

The only problem is with public perception...
... images of exploding phones next to my head does not conjure up great feelings of trust.

Plus they may not be allowed on airplanes.
(There was this crash not so long ago... so there's a lot of FUD)
