Processors get faster and cheaper over time, storage gets denser, screens get bigger, you’ve heard it all before, but you also know that batteries have progressed at a far slower pace of innovation compared to the pieces of silicon they power. Panasonic plans on changing that by introducing a silicon alloy anode into the battery, yielding an extra 30% capacity. Huge considering that batteries took roughly a decade to double the amount of mAh they can store. These new batteries will hit the market in 2012, and are not the type that fit into mobile phones, but eventually they’ll shrink the technology into something that fits into the device that sits in your pocket all day, killing your sperm cells.
I for one can’t wait.

He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team.
