I want one that is much better and Sion Power has come through with a pretty cool solution. Not perfect, mind you, but pretty cool. It?s a Lithium-Sulfur battery and it can give you a full day of power from a single charge. There are some drawbacks, of course, because nothing cool can ever be completely cool. The new battery is heavier than the typical Lithium-Ion battery. More distressingly, though, it only has a lifespan of 60 charges before you have to chuck it out and buy a new one. Not nice to the environment or the pocket book. It won?t be on the market until 2008, though, so hopefully they can fix those problems. Pretty cool. (Oh Gizmo!)
