    What is it with Bluetooth and battery drain? The Apple BT keyboard uses 3 AAs and those last maybe a couple of months at best. My Logitech RF keyboard goes over a year on to AAs. #newbluetooth

    Too bad they can't figure out a way for battery current to charge the battery at the sametime... Sort of a perpetual battery

    @Uncletwitch001: Google "conservation of energy" and "perpetual motion machine". Thanks. #newbluetooth

    I'm not sure I'd want something that I "don't need to recharge", because that means I'd have to go buy replacement batteries. That doesn't seem like an improvement to me.

    What would be much better is to use this technology in existing devices with existing batteries. #newbluetooth

    @chocolatebanana: The implication here is that the more efficient BT devices COULD be run off a watch battery, not WILL. The new devices are not going to need an endless supply of watch batteries.

    Example: turning off BT on a laptop would be irrelevant, as the new device only needs a fraction of the power of the current BT, all powered by the laptop's battery. #newbluetooth

    So now we will have to block out the sun for longer to stop the terminators from communicating with each other. Great. #newbluetooth
