Samsung, Sharp and Toshiba have all launched projects to push fuel cell technology ahead. Additionally IBM and Sanyo have recently worked together to produce a prototype fuel cell to power ThinkPad notebooks/Tablets. It is exciting to see the fuel cell battery alternative finally start to emerge from fiction to fact. Several other big players have jumped aboard as well.

I can’t wait until a laptop can last ten or twenty hours on a single charge. I don’t know how long that will be with the fuel cell battery technology, but I am glad they are making strides with fuel cells.
