University of Alberta in Canada, researchers are working on a super mobile phone that needs to be charged just once a year.The secret is a special chip that uses about 100 times less energy than normal mobile phone processors.

In the past companys just concentrated on battery life and new forms of battery technologys! i.e: Fuel cells ect..but no one really thought of creating componants which consume less power...this is the way ahead!

Less power consuming chips -> Better conductors, smaller size, more fragile -> Tremendous cost .
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence of your attempt !! |

Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric have developed technology that will slash mobile phone power consumption by 90 per cent, allowing users to go weeks without recharging their batteries.
The technology, which will also enable handsets to process data 20 per cent faster, is expected to enter production in about 2007.
The chips were developed by Hitachi and Renesas, a joint venture between Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric.
"Theoretically, the technology will enable mobile phone batteries to last 10 times longer with a single charge, if the handset is in a standby status," Hitachi spokesman Kantaro Tanii said.
Currently, phone batteries last two to three days with a single charge.
The breakthrough involves a technology known as complementary metal oxide semiconductor, which is widely used in information technology products.

That's amazing, I hope it wouldnt be as costly as the phone itself.
 forever Read the FAQ before u post a new topic.. 8810->6150->3310->t68i->t610->t630->k700i  |
