Batteries that last forever?

I saw this article today and thought, what if we never had to worry about batteries going bad in our phones again?

If I had a dime for every time I read about some amazing new battery tech, batteries wouldn't be an issue since I could afford to throw the phone in the trash and buy a new one rather than charge it.

Not to worry... even if it's true and becomes a reality, someone will patent it, ginormously inflate the price, and that will be the end of that. The only thing that'll last a lifetime is your wanting to buy it for cheaper than what you'll be paying for it.
