Bugpower, the energy of the future

Aljazeera.Net - Article: "A farewell bleep, then a blank screen ... your mobile phone, on which your work and social life depend, has become a useless lump of plastic and silicon: the battery is dead.
No problem.
Just reach for the nearest bowl of sugar, flip open the phone, top up the battery with a wee spoonful, give it a little time - and hey presto, you are connected to the world again."

Just another in the long line of electrical innovations by evolution adapted by use for gadgets. Good stuff but still about a decade (my guess) from ever being useful for everyday use.
