China will be finally be implementing a universal standard for cell-phone batteries by the end of 2007! "He Guili from the Ministry of Information Industry said the universal battery will be used in phones of different models and brands, and will reduce a great amount of pollution . There will be only three to four standardized batteries to fit all cell phones, in the same way dry batteries are used in electronic products." (From Greenbang) Now let's hope this doesn't limit good cell phone designs :) -tricia
