Laptop fuel cells get a sodium borohydride bump

Materials and Energy Research Institute Tokyo Ltd. (MERIT) have reportedly developed an incredibly small fuel cell for notebooks, just 30 x 20 x 1-mm in dimension (we'll say roughly the size and weight of quarter). Fifty of the sodium borohydride-based cells would contain quadruple the power of methanol fuel cells of the same size, and effectively power machines for twice the time of current lithium-ion batteries. Yay. Can we please see some of these coming out, already? Sheesh.
