John, did you hear Lev describing the dangers of cobalt in the Li/Poly batteries. He said the competition was keeping the size of the cobalt batteries under a certain size because of the possibility of fire. And those batteries catching fire (being the small cellphone type) would be easier to contain (like a Bic lighter exploding). That's why Sony dropped the endeavor to try and produce larger format batteries using the cobalt chemistries. I'm sure the comment was in jest but I'm glad I'm not long ulbi.....poor Larry, and Zeev....its gotta sting. <VBG>
