Actually this didn't come from "the industry" but from MIT.

...but you're right about fuel cells.

Every time there's a "breakthrough" in battery technology, the 
commercial product is a couple of years away.  Has there been any 
real improvement in laptop batteries in the last three years?  I 
can't think of any.  Laptops have started using less power, and have 
added extra batteries, but I've yet to see the fuel-cell stuff I read 
about years ago.


I think the battery industry needs to take a page from the video card 
industry and stop talking about improvements until they can actually 
sell me a product.
