As usual a lot of people are saying that this is useless. Really I think that's a bit of a bloody silly thing to say. How many times do you have to make something before you get it right? How many research groups do you have to have working on crazy shit like this, before you get one useful, commercially viable product? Even the most promising inventions still need millions of dollars and years to get it onto the shelf. The people who made this battery might strike it lucky and this could be in every ones pocket, powering your rollup laptop computer. No point having a flexible computer with a hard battery is it. There are sooooo many uses for this type of product. But people have to make a lot of useless ones before we will get one good one. Lots and lots of little steps. It's all progress.
I just subscribed to slashdot to tell you that you are so wrong Arik. How many times do you have to make something before you get it right? How many research groups do you have to have working on crazy shit like this, before you get one useful, commercially viable product? Even the most promising inventions still need millions of dollars and rears to get it onto the shelf. The people who made this battery might strike it lucky and this could be in every ones pocket, powering your rollup laptop computer. No point having a flexible computer with a hard battery is it. There are sooooo many uses for this type of product. But people have to make a lot of useless ones before we will get one good one. Lots and lots of little steps.
