Everybody is mobile today and most of us have digital gadgets such as Smartphone’s and laptops, but if travelling on a long journey, battery life for these gadgets is a major issue for us.

Worry not, Pixel Qi, a company founded by OLPC’s ex-CTO, is not only targeting a $75 laptop for poverty struck nations as well as for consumers especially of the 3rd world, but focusing on enabling battery life for these laptops of about 20-40 hours. Yup you heard me right 20-40 hours.

How? It’s all about the screen. Now with the flip of a switch, the color LCD can switch to one that’s monochrome and highly reflective, making it easy to use outside and even more energy efficient.

At Pixel Qi, we have a new series of inventions that go well beyond the OLPC screen that we are developing right now… We can enable an increase of 5-10X battery life between charges compared with a standard notebook. This means that rather than needing to recharge your batteries every few hours, you could run 20-40 hours of use on a one charge.

Its just time that stands between words and reality, lets see how this could help us in saving energy resources… What do you think will Pixel Qi be able to do it?
