Samsung fuel cell concept

This is very exciting news, as there are several advantages to this. First, recharging could be as simple as finding the nearest faucet. Second, the battery will last up to twice as long as current battery technologies used in mobile phones today.

The technology is scheduled to arrive in 2010. Also, by then the technology will be even more perfected, and a hydrogen cartridge will no longer be needed.
