NEC Electronics and Transmeta have announced a new low-power chip for cellphones that cuts power leakage dramatically, giving 20-30 hours of talk time instead of the 2-3 hours you get at present. The chips should also find their way into digital cameras and notebook PCs in due course. With TV receivers (which eat a good deal more power than just talking) going into Japanese cellphones all over the place at the moment, current battery technology is starting to look in need of a helping hand. You’ll have to wait until 2006 until these make their way into phones, however, so be patient.
