Fuel Cells To Appear In Laptops In 2004

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sooner-is-better dept.

prostoalex writes "The overhyped fuel cells will finally be delivered to the portable computing market. Toshiba and NEC will incorporate fuel cells into the laptops by 2004. Sony, Hitachi and Casio are expected to follow the suit. The tests show a fuel cell lasting 10 hours. With the form-factor of a Bic lighter, it allows the laptop user to carry a few extra cells in the laptop bag all the time. Battery prices are expected to run at about $200."

    To paraphrase Bill Hicks - if you're in marketing, or Slashdot moderation: kill yourself. You provide no meaningful contribution to society.
