Solar Company in UMPC Fuel-Cell tie-up.

NeoSolar, manufacture of solar tech, has formed an Alliance with WiBrain. They will now be responsible for the operation, manufacturing and marketing with WiBrain continuing with research. This could be a strategic move for NeoSolar but I doubt it. It sounds like some form of investment to me. I’m hoping it will speed up the development of new products from WiBrain. The new 32GB SSD-based products (aff.) are out of the door now and should be shipping to customers in the next few days but I’d really like to see a new design coming from Wibrain.

More exciting but somewhat against the solar-tech grain, is the announcement that they will co-develop fuel-cell portable digital devices with MTI MicroFuel Cells Inc. There’s no word on availability of course. It could still be years until we see devices small enough to drop inside UMPCs.

Thanks to everyone who sent tips on this.
