SAmsung battery breakthrough aids next gen color wireless. "The newly-developed batteries are as light and thin as polymer batteries. With continued development, we will put these ultra-thin lithium ion batteries on the market sooner than expected", said Mr. Ki-Hoon Ahn, VP of Mobile Energy at Samsung SDI. Ultra-thin Lithium Ion Batteries Developed that can be use for 3G cell phones date: December 28, 2001 Samsung SDI has developed the world's thinnest lithium-ion rechargeable batteries for that can be use for future next-generation 3G cell phones. On December 16th, Samsung SDI unveiled the new 2.8 mm-thin battery. The most advanced battery technology so far only offers 3mm-thin products. The new battery can store 355 watt hours in a space of a 2.8mm-thin, 34mm-wide and 58mm-high pack. This will be important becuase next generation 3G handsets can offer applications like video, which will require higher MIPS rates that leads to higher battery consumption or drain, while consumers will demand longer battery life and smaller handsets. It has been a challenge for the battery industry to scale down battery size, while at the same time obtaining high internal pressure resistance and meeting satisfactory insulation requirements. Samsung SDI was successful in developing an ultra-thin lithium ion battery by employing a new sealing method. Samsung SDI provides lithium-ion batteries to Samsung Electronics and other major cell phone handset makers. The company will be hoping to export the new lithium-ion batteries aiming at 3G cell phones. "The newly-developed batteries are as light and thin as polymer batteries. With continued development, we will put these ultra-thin lithium ion batteries on the market sooner than expected", said Mr. Ki-Hoon Ahn, VP of Mobile Energy at Samsung SDI.

<It's only a small step from that position for PayPal or others such as QUALCOMM or Microsoft or gang of them to pool some shares, create a cyber currency, the Q, with 100q to the Q, which can be traded securely in cyberspace without the snooping eyes of tax authorities stealing some of it.> Kyros, QUALCOMM could do it alone, but I imagine a pooling of shares would be necessary for robust value. They could construct a currency, the Q, by owning a whole swag of shares in other companies, which would act as the value of the currency. If successful, the value of the currency would become the value of the transactions which it enables and as with fiat currencies, it could become extremely valuable in its own right. The value of the currency business could be used to further expand the foundations of the currency by buying even more shares in other companies. But they could also make a mini-currency based only on the value of QUALCOMM and it's subsidiary companies. But I expect it would be better to have a separate company to operate the currency. As with Uncle Green$pan and Uncle Sam, confidence in the long term management of the currency would be crucial to its success. Mqurice
