Rajesh Jain writes  on a report  from smartmobs where they take a look at the next step in "always on" communications, in which new technologies like RFID and smart computing promise a world of networked and interconnected devices that provide relevant content and information whatever the location of the user...

I often wonder, how long is 'always on'? I am in conference right now, there is Wi-Fi all over. But our laptops are not always on! The battery technology is from the last generation. The number of hours my mobile can hold on is funny - not too long as I want it to be. Is this being looked at or is it all talk.? I think one should rather talk powerwidth rather than bandwidth and start innovating!
