Samsung is working jointly with MTI Micro to develop Fuel cells as a power source for mobile phones, according to BusinessWeek. The company, which develops hydrogen-based fuel cells, already supplies them for industrial devices, according to the report, as well as for the military.
As usage demands increase through media applications, higher-bandwidth communications and longer life expectancy for handsets, fuel cells will be an increasingly attractive alternative to rechargeable batteries for the consumer market. E-waste regulations will also compel companies to look at alternative power sources for electronic devices.
