"Toshiba’s new player can run for up to 10 hours on 10 milliliters of methanol, longer than would be possible using a similarly sized conventional battery. The prototype integrates the fuel cell power plant into the back of the player - which runs on nearly 100% methanol - and discharges the vapor created through natural evaporation. (...)
With all the potential advantages that DMFC technology offers, it is not hard to see why companies are investing heavily in the technology. A future where rejuvenating the laptop, mobile phone or portable media player with a dash of methanol replaces having to race off to the nearest power outlet can’t come soon enough for a society increasingly hooked on power hungry mobile devices."
