"Ultimately, the energy capacity of lithium iron phosphate is lower than that of other lithium-ion battery materials, making Ceder's advance of limited value, says Jeff Dahn, a professor of physics at Dalhousie University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This battery is good for acceleration, but not as much for long range."
Emphasis mine. As has been pointed out above, the practical use for rapid-discharge is in conjunction with other types of high-density storage. I envision it as analogous to the RAM and HDD paradigm.
Anyone else notice the inconsistency? The last slide http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/x300/1000528045 lists several features as like 'Not Supported' "PCI Expresscard slot" and "Mono Speaker" on the 'Supported' side that are not corroborated on the first slide http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/x300/1000528037
Smells like a stock pump, botched covert PR response, or frankly a wishful fanboy (GPS, WIMAX, WWAN? Please, what country do you think you live in? Maybe if this is meant for ROK - thats South Korea to you).
uh, you divided a volume by an area. you need the surface area and the volumes of both to figure this out correctly (although props on remembering the density). i dont feel like looking them up, you're welcome to if you wish.
Remember this however. Although you are correct in assesing the situation, you fail to see the larger point. Governments are not all as rich as the american and swedish and norweigan governments. A governments such as that of Thailand simply lacks the resources to pay for these services. Who's fault is that? Why the developed world of course. Bring Thailand into the developed world, and all the countries like it, and you just doubled your profits.

I'm going to get dekarma'd but that was simply brilliant humor. My chair nearly capsized.

Looks like the 'face' on mars. Good hunting!
