The prototype created by Acker's company, MTI Micro Fuel Cells Inc., relies on a minute flow of methanol to generate electricity.

So now, when my cell phone starts beeping "low power!" at me, I've gotta go find some methanol? Will I need a teeny funnel to pour the stuff into my phone's methanol tank? Will there be full service and self service stations? Can I get my phone washed with a fillup?

I SO want to see this technology in use.

A MAJOR reason why I haven't bought a laptop is the hassles of battery charging / swapping / memory / wear-out.

Dang, I'd love to see a fuel cell electric shaver. You could pour in aftershave to fuel it!
