Fuel Cells for Mobile Phones

One of the limiting factors for mobile phone technology has been the power supply.
Advanced smart phone features like audio, video, and text messaging drain lots of power and future features will use even more power. Mobile fuel cells may be the power supply of the future for mobile computing and smart phones.

According to a NanoMarkets report, the mobile fuel cell market could be $2.7 billion by 2012.

NTT DoCoMo and Fujitsu Laboratories have developed a methanol fuel cell prototype portable recharger for 3G FOMA handsets that will allow eight hours of continuous talk time. We should see fuel cell portable rechargers on the market soon.
