No, that's green; the campaigns against smoking ensure that it will never be full. (;-) ====== Hey, we will not be able to afford to drive a car soon, with road taxes by the mile, fuel costs and the preference to talk on mobile phones rather than pay attention to the road (that will get most motorists banned from driving!)... But - on topic - isn't the solution to the "smart battery" option, to allow a "non-smart" battery to charge at a nominal "safe" level of charge? We all acknowledge that the cheap alternatives will have a market - isn't it then ethical and sensible to make the phone "safe" with these alternative batteries - even though the thing takes 2 days to charge....
