I just read a lengthy battery article in the April 27, 1998 issue of EETimes. The section that deals with Li-Polymer mentions that Yuasa Corp. plans on producing 500,000 Li-polymer cells per month for notebook computers this fall, and expects to ship samples this month.

Valence is mentioned as starting production in its Henderson, Nev. facility and also in N.I. this year. But the following comment really caught my eye: "Hitachi-Maxell Inc. has begun mass production of Li-polymer batteries that are 0.5mm thick and flexible to 90 dgrees".

If this is true, then somebody is already mass producing Li-polymer. Could this be the battery source for Samsung, maybe?
