At MTI Micro, pushing fuel cells for portables

"The main advantage of fuel cells is that they will last twice as long as a battery pack of the same size. ... And the recharge time is almost nonexistent. Powering up a fuel cell-based phone only requires squirting in some new fuel or putting in a new cartridge."
