Yeah, not gonna happen... cellphone companies will find some way to burn through all that extra capacity by dropping in more useless features (that require even more juice) into their phones.

Just look at laptops.
Sure, there are definitely some laptops that have some awesome battery life, but the every day "typical" laptop still is stuck at about the same battery life as one from 3 or 4 years ago. Sure, it has a faster processor and more RAM, but the usable life is about the same. They always find some extra "feature" to drop into them... when a new CPU comes out that uses less power, the laptops makers drop in a larger screen (which conveniently uses about as much extra juice, that the new CPU saves).]]>Mar 1st 2010 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/Mar 1st 2010 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/Mar 1st 2010 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/
Imagine being able to power all your smaller devices and having them "just work" like most people's cell phones today.

I, too, share your dream of that kind of future.]]>Mar 1st 2010 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/Mar 1st 2010 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/Mar 1st 2010 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/Mar 1st 2010 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/11% annualy would be an exponential function, but the one they drew is obviously linear

don't mind this intermission and continue your discussion about batteries :)]]>Mar 1st 2010 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/
No it's not.

Fuel cells != Batteries. You'd think people who write technology blogs would understand that technology a bit.]]>Mar 1st 2010 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/I hope the anodes both point in the same direction when you buy a pack.
I hate that.
It is very distracting.]]>Mar 1st 2010 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/Hey remember back in the days, when it was all about carbon nanotubes batteries hitting mainstream in 2010 ? Good old times...
Speaking of these, they did far better in the vaporware department than Panasonic's batteries do.

According to the graph, in 2005 we were at x2 capacity of what we had in 1995 and now we are at x3...?? Do current batteries really have 33% more capacity than they did in 2005? I don't believe it, smartphones that have existed since 2005-2006 have always had the same 1200-1400 or so mAh batteries. So, anyone know for sure if this is correct?]]>Mar 1st 2010 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/panasonics-silicon-packin-batteries-boast-30-percent-capacity/"Panasonic's silicon-packin' batteries boast 30 percent capacity boost, hit stores in 2012, cause world to end"]]>Mar 2nd 2010 3:52PM
