Well, according to fareastgizmos, Professor Cho Jae-phil of the Department of Applied Chemistry at Hanyang University in Korea has discovered a developmental technology that aims at adding eight times the battery life.
According to the site, silicon is the main improvement:
Graphite, which is used in cathodes, can store a limited amount of lithium ion, cutting usage time to around 2 hours. The eight-fold increase in storage capacity was achieved by using silicon instead of graphite.
So, when will we see this technology come to the shores? Well, unfortunately, according to a Symbian Freak article, Cho doesn't expect production to begin commercially for four or five years.

Sweet topic. I know more battery life would make MY life easier. Maybe you could analyze a little more and explain what this could mean for the future of mobile devices, etc.
That's pretty awesome, if they can ever make that possible. Eight years the lifetime would be amazing. Btw, thanks for the link to the "foot" injury thing. That is weird how Felix Jones and Darren Mcfadden both hurt their left feet. Cool topic!!
