unless you're an apple fan, in which case the iphone started it all.]]>Oct 10th 2009 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/cellphones-thinner-than-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/cellphones-thinner-than-ever/Oct 11th 2009 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/cellphones-thinner-than-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/cellphones-thinner-than-ever/Oct 12th 2009 3:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/cellphones-thinner-than-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/cellphones-thinner-than-ever/http://tinyurl.com/yabxjzl) that the trend to thin phones can't go on forever. Yes the Samsung Ultra series uses amazing technology to make it so thin (TouchMe is right about the RAZR starting it all http://tinyurl.com/yllsfjv and Samsung has developed it further) but I'd be scared to put the U106 in my pocket in case it breaks when I sit down or bend over, Yoshiki! And battery technology really needs to catch up. The "energy gap" in cellphones is growing (http://tinyurl.com/csmyfr) because improvements in component power consumption and battery chemistries aren't sufficient to offset the growth in feature penetration and application usage. We really need something like fuel cell technology, Silver Zinc and/or some other chemistry to take over from Li-Ion and give us a 30% or 50% jump in energy density, instead of the pitiful 8% improvement that Li-Ion is able to give each year despite massive investment in R&D. We live in hope.]]>Oct 12th 2009 10:42AM
