Fuel Cells almost closer to replace Li-Ion Battery

Here I go again...I've been telling people the basic difference between Toshiba and other laptop/handheld companies. Toshiba always innovates and rest follow. See the example of first Wi-Fi PDA, Libbero and HD-DVD. Toshiba does it again by showing the prototype of fuel cell for which it was working for last four years.

Electronics companies are promoting fuel cells as an environmentally-friendly and convenient alternative to traditional lithium ion batteries.
Instead of storing power, fuel cells generate electricity by breaking down methanol via an electrochemical process. The cells can be recharged by topping them up with methanol from a cartridge. Recent demo showed that the technology is just around the corner.

At the touch of the button the fuel cell instantly provides power. Toshiba says this will be enough for 10 hours of computing. A program developed by Toshiba shows exactly how much fuel is left. This is far more useful than the tiny battery mark and percentage on the toolbar.
