System updates with only software changes increased the Evo's battery life form a measly 4 hours to 9 hours, your lack of intelligence is disturbing.

House I think superman was referring to the actual "Hardware" side of things. As in the Physical battery.

I too have increased the battery life on my Galaxy S simply by rooting and loading a custom rom.

But as for the physical battery no one seems to be able to make a technological leap that can keep up with the technology of our modern gadgets.

At the very least, people may find one of our reading comprehension abilities "Disturbing" xD

OMG Dr House. 9 hours!? Have fun carrying that charger around. But seriously, we need phones that last a week again

My old Sony Ericsson lasts a week. When the battery was new it lasted almost two.

How old Sprud? Did you use it much?

I just figured with as much time that has gone by, they maybe would of had a break-thru in that people power tech. Kind of like the matrix where they would use people to power the matrix, because we are just a battery after all, that will one day run out of juice, and get reclycled back into something different.

Oh I agree man...like the article covered, I think the possible future tech is in line with what you are talking about in the eco drive type way...

FTA: "Is there a silver lining for the rest of our portable tech? Well, scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have been busy working on a tiny chip that can be charged by small movements, such as walking or electricity when flexed."

The smartphone battery paradox can go to hell!
