The Self Charging Cell Phone
Well, almost.
Nokia has announced that a new cell phone can actually recharge itself based on radio waves bouncing around in the atmosphere.
Free electricity, really.
Currently the technology cannot power the cell phone during a call, but it can recharge the battery while sitting idle. Pretty Cool.
A friend of mine in the satellite business knows a company that claims to beam down electricity from a satellite to earth, and that has incredible ramifications (in a few years); this Nokia development appears to be working today.

There’s really no reason this same technology cannot be applied to other computers; and I’m sure it will.
