Longer battery life for wireless devices?

Those worries about what happens when you need to make that urgent phone call on a dying cell phone, or having your laptop go blank mid-document could soon be lessened. Researchers at the University of Rochester say they've developed a chip for cell phones and WiFi laptops that means that batteries can use 10 percent of the battery power of current designs, and even less than that in any future wireless devices. With their new chip, cell phones, WiFi and other wireless devices will be able to deliver better performance and longer batter life.
