>Another point that distances Valence from this event is that so far, >they have focused on cellphone and laptop (not notebook) batteries. >I am not aware that much effort has been directed toward notebooks. Laptop is an older term from when they were briefcase-sized. Savvy marketing types will only refer to them as notebooks. They're the same thing. Make no mistake, in the small rechargeable batteries market, cell phones & notebooks each take about 42% of production of Li-ion. The rest is fragmented among lots of very small categories. Digital cameras, MiniDisk players, camcorders - these are tiny categories comparatively. Anyone making batteries is chasing those 2 big categories.
