Microsoft fuel cells for Zune Phone chargers

by Patrick Altoft on April 16, 2007

According to recent reports Medis Technologies have started production of a fuel cell-based recharger for Microsoft. The production run began last Friday and the factory will apparently be producing 1 million units per month by the end of June.

Medis chief executive, Robert Lifton, commented:

“It’s the first commercial sale for our company and we believe the first commercial sale in quantity for the industry,”

Fuel cells are not small enough to be used in mobile phones yet but they can be used as chargers offering users the ability to recharge a dead battery when the user is away from a power outlet.

We already know Microsoft is building a Zune Phone so our money is on the fuel cells being phone chargers.
