Fuel Cell Cell Phone Charger-will go great with your Prius

"We might not be seeing fuel cell cars anytime soon, but at least we'll be able to use the technology to power some of our stuff. Like cell phones, for example. "

"Samsung and SAIT have developed this diminutive charger using fuel cell technology to ensure that you never run out of juice again. Simply pop in little methanol cartridges to keep the juice loose and you're set. You know, since methanol cartridges can be bought at the corner store and everything."

I read about that in some gadget magazine this past sumer. Nice to see it in production.

But will this in actuality be like the fuel-cell cars - 10-15 years off? Right now I use the Charge-to-Go for emergency back up charge for my cell phone. Only needs 2 AA batteries, and comes with adapters for almost any phone.
