Another tech innovation we'll likely never see...

The theory sounds logical and promising. Almost obvious in retrospect. Article states it may be in production by year end. Good news if true, but the cynic in me thinks this will be another tech innovation that will silently be bought out never to be seen again - or for at least 5-10 years.

Not sure how I feel about charging 1000x faster though; I can't imagine replacing a 5v 2A phone/tablet charger with a 5v 2,000A charger - that might be just a tad beyond USB connection spec. Time to hook up some #OO wires to your phone!

I saw that too, I really hope it works well and becomes mainstream. If they don't make them large enough to scare the oil companies it might have a better chance of surviving.

Super high C rate mini batteries for cell phones and electronic devices? More texting for the billions of Facebook and Twitter addicts out there.
