Power consumption of the latest devices is a fraction of what older type of technology used to consume but still we are not winning battle when it comes to battery life. For a moment, with introduction of lithium-ion technology it seemed that quest for ultimate power source is over. Unfortunately, that was short lived assumption. Researchers will be able to push lithium-ion batteries to certain level but eventually some other type of batteries will have to be developed.
In mean time there are some companies who think GREEN. Why not harvest power of nature and deliver it to hungry gadgets? That is exactly what Kinesis Industries were doing for some time. With their latest product, K3 Wind and Solar Charger your iPod/ Mp3 player could get another faceplate color-Green.
