HP Introduces New Technology to Save Mobile Battery Life

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the batmax-beware dept.

fenimor writes "HP researchers have developed new technology to save battery life on mobile devices. Targeting one of the main culprits of battery consumption -- the display -- they've developed an energy-aware solution that dims parts of the screen that aren't in use. Display battery life lasts from two to 11 times longer, depending on what the user is doing."

    Man. What the hell is with you. The next ten posts following yours are all from idiots who failed utterly in their attempt to have a witty first post, who didn't even read the summary let alone the article.

    And yet you pull out an insightful reply, while beating everyone else to FP? Well... the slashdot world needs more people like you. Right on. :)
