Some of the talk about powering consumer electronics was pretty interesting last week at Mobile World Congress.
At the end of Wednesday’s keynote extravaganza, the moderator asked keynoters what we should invest in, and Intel’s Paul Otellini talked about battery companies. He said lithium ion is not the answer; instead, consumer electronics gear in the future will be powered by silicon-based batteries.
In a separate presentation, Qualcomm’s Paul Jacobs said the company is working on a way to use wireless technology to deliver power to consumer electronics devices.
