Is the end near for batteries?
"Batteries not included" may soon be a thing of the past. Toshiba, not previously a player in the battery biz, has announced a new methanol fuel cell that is much smaller than any previous. At only 2.2 x 0.9 x 0.2 inches and 0.3 ounces, it should fit in PDAs, cellphones, personal electronic tchotchkes, toys, etc. Refill with a little alchohol and you're good to go. Link
