Title: Ultra Low Power Cell Phone
Post by: Mark van 't Hooft on May 25, 2006, 07:26:52 PM
Interesting piece I ran across this morning:

Quote
Ultra-Low-Power Cell Phones
Programmable analog circuits could drastically reduce the power needs and cost of electronics in portable devices.

A radical approach to making the electronics in cell phones could cut the power consumption of cell phones anywhere from 10 to 100 times, while also dramatically reducing the size and cost.

I wonder if this would work for handhelds. It would solve a big problem that the current devices have, battery life.
