"The world's largest cell-phone maker, which only eight months ago signaled its commitment to fuel cells, said the technology isn't yet mature."
"In a cell phone, a fuel cell would remove the need for a rechargeable battery, instead allowing a user to recharge it the same way a cigarette lighter is refilled when it runs out of butane."
"In June 2004, Tero Ojanpera, head of Nokia's research center, showed off a headset that was powered by a small amount of methanol. The fuel cell combined the methanol with air to produce power.
At that time, Ojanpera said the technology was "reasonably mature," and predicted that it would take less than two years to commercialize it."
