Good article. Actually learned something and it is a topic where there should not be trolling. Need more of these.

This is very much needed, but mAh/size increase has been teased over years now, yet none of the technologies managed to make it cheap, long lasting and perfectly stable, all of which is a minimum requirement to even consider greenlighting it, and it's another year from that to store shelves, so this is not coming anytime soon.
While we're waiting, would it be so hard for all companies to start NANDFLASH storage from 64gigs all the way up to 256?
Remember the dirt cheap terabyte HDDs? So how come a Nexus 4 still comes out a 8GB with no SD card slot?

Regarding the no MicroSD card slot: I'd have to believe that device manufacturers, cell service carriers and the hardware/software industry in general view "Cloud" storage as a far more profitable resource than large inexpensive local storage. I don't believe the argument that expandable memory in internet devices is expensive, space intensive or excessively power consuming. Its just that an external storage service is far more likely to extract additional cash from comsumers :).

The Nexus 4 and other Google Android devices were released without the sdcard slot with the idea it would make the average user experience less confusing. No app to SDcard, no multiple storage areas to browse in a file browser, and when transferring from device to computer, only one place for all!

All I know it's none of this technology is in my phone yet XD

So should I wait 2 to 3 years to buy my next phone?

History teaches us that there is a 20 year gap between new invention and application in products.

Researches at Washington State University have been working on a battery that uses a tin anode rather than a carbon one. They say it is quicker to charge and has three times the capacity. They are currently manufacturing and testing these devices. They say it should hit market by the end of the year.

I'm loving these innovations. I'm loving that 3 of these 5 are from California universities, especially UCRiverside, which is just a couple blocks down the street from me ^_^.

Smartphones are among the lesser important thing to get these revolutionary technologies.
Such batteries will change the world drastically

The world is screaming for better batteries for so many different applications, one way or another with so much research in the field, we should see the light within the next decade or so... Nimh an li ion batteries are merelly better materials for the conventional battery design.... Wish hydrogen was easier to mass produce, those small hydrogen generators and cylinders are quite nifty! (LOL nifty.....)

Why not just make the battery bigger and thicker? I charge mine overnight anyway.
The result - three times more storage than the conventional battery in your smartphone, and 10 minute charging times. To top it all off, once the charge/discharge cycles number is increased, the technology will be good to go into batteries, and this is poised to happen in two or three years.
