new Porsche Light?

[fisk-king]

browsing thru one of my fav. sites I noticed this article on the Mpower emergency illuminator flashlight designed by Porsche. I did a quick search on here but could not find any info on it here. I'm curious as to everyone's take on it? It is suppose to debut at CES in Jan.

The mPower Reserve Battery offers an unprecedented minimum shelf life of 20 years and has an immediate activation to full power. Through an intricate battery design, mPhase developed a way to eliminate power dissipation before initial activation."
The flashlight uses an intense, high-performance LED, and has an accessory USB connection to charge your mobile devices. It's slated to arrive in March, but we hope to get a better look at it at CES in January

edit: 4 hr. of light on one battery and 2hr. on the back up battery is pretty lacking IMO

I've been waiting for someone to post about this.

Anyone getting one? I'm planning to.

That almost sounds like a molten-salt battery in there...

I wonder what BMW thinks about that name?
