Yes davidc2, it's true that a lot of companies are trying to develop a safe, longer lasting, quick charge time battery. Just look at the problems Boeing had with their (Japanese manufactured) batteries and their 787 Dreamliner. It's obvious to me that mphase has some very valuable intellectual property that could and should be used by these companies. If they signed an agreement with mphase, they could save themselves a lot of time and money. Apple has a lot of money and Engineers working on a solution. mphase has no money and, as drk points out, no viable plan to raise money. Manufacturing of the power jump is a great idea but, there is no money to do it. The only hope that mphase has is for some company (like Apple) with a lot of money to team up with them and make things happen. It's my hope that is what will happen but, until then, I'm just an observer.
