They don't mention refueling in their descriptions. I suspect they are going to do a bad job of designing them. Presumably because the thought of liquid fuel causes paranoia and the idea of people topping up their fuel cell like they refill their car's fuel tank is considered too dangerous.

100 ml of methanol is a lot less dangerous than 80 litres of petrol.

It seems that fuel cells have a way to go before they are running mobile cyberspace. Lithium ion batteries recharge quite quickly and if the fuel cell people make it too hard, people would as well carry spare lithium ion batteries.

PS: Yes, it was a rhetorical question about Samsung's success with CDMA [and the implied question about why there is so much whining from Koreans about CDMA royalties].
