Motorola and Verizon Wireless went all official this week with the new Droid handset. The device is very cool looking and has a nice large 3.7-inch 854 x 480 capacitive touchscreen. The handset will hit on November 6 for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate.

AT&T put the HTC Tilt 2 up for sale at $299.99. The second Windows Mobile 6.5 handset to be offered by AT&T after the Pure, the Tilt2 is available on a 2-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate or $499.99 contract free.

The battery is optimized to offer users 320 hours of power, a significant increase over current standard battery capacities. Of course the main benefit of such a power source is that the methanol can instantly be refilled (as shown in the photo above) rather than waiting for a power outlet to gradually recharge your mobile phone. KDDI hopes to have a sellable version of this technology on the market within the next few years.
