Samsung Shows Water Powered Mobile Phone Batteries

"In 2010 your mobile phone may be powered by water. During the 2007 Korea Electronics Show. Sam sung Electro-Mechanics announced that it has developed a micro-fuel cell and hydrogen generator that runs on HO. And it even showed a working prototype of the new "Micro Fuel Cell" which works with the Korean version of the Sam sung SIGH-I (I wouldn't mind to test it as well). According to Sam sung, the micro-fuel cell can generate up to three watts of electricity which is enough to be used in mobile devices. The new fuel cell could power a handset for 10 hours (talk time, standby time?), twice as long as rechargeable batteries."
I know these things are coming but there just seems something odd about filling up your phone with water like a squirt gun. The other issue is the gas production. The FAA is looking into these things and from what I have read, may very well approve them for use on the airlines.
