Can't Get Longer Battery Life, So How
About Faster Charges?
03/29/2005 05:32 PMOne of the biggest issues holding back portable technologies is the
battery life question. While computing power seems to increase
rapidly, battery power has been unable to keep up. While there are
many efforts underway to improve battery life, most don't measure up
(unless you want to increase the risk that your battery might
explode). Fuel cells
don't
appear to be the answer either. However, just because you can't
increase battery life, it doesn't mean other improvements can't be
made.
Decre
asing power consumption is one area that is getting plenty of
attention, but the rechargeable nature of batteries is another
interesting space. Toshiba has announced a new technology which they
claim
can
charge batteries much faster. They claim this technology only
requires a one minute charge to get a battery up to 80% power -- which
could go a long way to solving certain battery life problems. If you
can just do a quick "power up," then many other issues are less
noticeable. Still, there aren't many details about this new
technology, and lots of stuff in labs (and press releases) don't seem
to act quite the same way in the real world (assuming they actually
reach the real world).

Panasonic SL-CT820 CD Player with 220
Hour Battery Life
09/14/2004 04:52 PM
Panasonic's new "SL-CT820" has the world's longest
battery life for MP3/CD players: 220 hours.
As you would imagine, there are a couple technicalities to this
figure. First of all, you need to be playing WMA files; your maximum
battery life with MP3 is 210 hours. (Oh damn). You also need to
use one of those external batteries - you know, the ones you somehow
connect with a cable to the CD player. But even if you choose not to,
you still get a 130 hour playback time of MP3 audio. Pretty swell,
considering even the latest hard drive-based players get, what,
20-some hours of playback?

08/31/2004 01:55 PM
Cory Doctorow:
The AlphaSmart Neo is a full-sized keyboard with a little LCD screen
on the top. It acts as a word-processor, letting you type into its
512k cache while it draws power from 3 AA batteries. When you get back
to your Mac or PC, you just dump the text over USB or IR. The thing
runs for 700 hours on a 3 AA batts and costs $250, and weighs about 2
lbs.
My only complaint about this thing is the storage: 512k? I know that's
a whole novel and then some, but geez, flash-RAM is so cheap now --
why not just give it a SD slot and I could use an old 64MB card from
my last camera?

Update: Chris Taylor points out that
AlphaSmart has a model that
supports memory cards -- and it comes with WiFi and PalmOS.
