F***in awesome! 10 hour battery life on a 17-inch laptop with Dual Geforce 8700GT's (highest available in a laptop I think) on full power settings with both CPU cores running on 100% w00t!

Since its just updated technology (rather than the fuel cell batteries with 24 hour battery life [but have to refuel]), does that mean it would be backwards compatable?
Also, my battery lasts for 9 hours........90 hours! wort wort wort

Will these batteries be lighter than traditional li-ion ones? Cuz I have a 3-hour battery life right now, and if I bought a cheap one of these and got, say, 10 hour life, would it be lighter than my current battery?

If they put that in an iPod Classic 160 with 160 gigs, then it would last for 300 hours! Holy crap!
Edit: Hey wait a minute, they would never be able to mass produce that by Christmas, and my parents probably already bought all the presents (an iPod touch) and I can't wait to get one. Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas? You're joking right?
If this does come into mass production, you won't see it until at least 2010, probably.

Wow, what a big breakthrough. I could imagine this being implemented into Laptops, MP3, Players, and Cameras. It would be awesome!

Little too soon, think 2-3+ years.
