Hydrogen Power For... Smart Phones? (W6)

A hydrogen fuel cell may soon be powering our mobile devices, giving smart phones a battery life of up to one week.  There seems to be a couple of infrastructure problems that can be read about in the article, but nothing game-breaking.


According to the article:
You can already get various fuel cell chargers that combine lithium ion batteries and their own internal hardware, but what Internal Energy has worked on is (supposedly) quite different. The Telegraph reports that the company’s fuel cell technology can be integrated into an iPhone without any visible changes to the device, save for some additional vents that discharge water vapor. Total iPhone charge time? One week.
I have trouble imagining my phone making it through the day without a charge so this is pretty exciting.
