Mobile Fuel Cells Soon?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the plug-addiction dept.

Mark Leaman writes "Motorola has made a strategic investment in Vancouver based, micro fuel cell developer Tekion with a view to the inevitable rise of the fuel cell as a power source for mobile products. Tekion is creating a new "personal power source", known as the Formira Power Pack, that will fit inside mobile products and enable consumers to stay connected for as long as needed. "

    My main issue with cell phones is having a cap on minutes. And don't dare go over otherwise it'll cost you dearly. I'll be more impressed with cell phones when it's just a constant monthly fee for unlimited usage. All this nights and weekend crap is a scam. Imagine if your internet usage was charged this way... you couldn't afford to read all the "valuable" comments in Slashdot ;)

      I pay $99 for 5000 anytime Minutes, free M2M, unlimited SMS, and unlimited GPRS data. I do all my /. posting from my PDA phone.

      I'm had the package for 4 years.

    Never attempt to quote the Simpsons again.

    It's "Young lady, in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!", in reference to Lisas perpetual motion machine ("It just keeps going faster and faster!")
