If you're one to actually remove the battery from your cellphone quite regularly -- do you yearn for that second backup battery to have built-in
charging capability from a standard USB port? Moxia may have your answer, as its newer
USBCELL battery product can charge without the need to carry along that extra charger. Yeah, we prefer to use our laptop PCs to charge or phones instead of a small, plug-in charger, which seems to be,
umm, really difficult. Well, not really, unless you despise small and portable chargers (and many of them in your bag.) Now, we like the idea of many travel-friendly gadgets being able to be charged by a single
USB-type charger -- but when taken just for a phone, the point of this device becomes, well, moot.
Although WiMAX handsets have not made it out into the wild yet, Fujitsu wants to make sure those mobile WiMAX batteries don't die so quickly. To that end, the Japanese company has developed some tech to enhance the power transmission efficiency of upcoming WiMAX handset amplifiers. With WiMAX transmitters needing large amounts of power to transmit data, any gain in the power efficiency of amp design is going to be welcome, we suppose. Fujitsu claims a power output gain of one and a half times what normal transmission amps get now in mobile WiMAX-equipped handsets. WiMAX networks are probably hitting en masse in 2008 -- if not before -- and conveniently, that's the date Fujitsu has set to commercialize this new tech. Perfect timing, eh?
