Hitachi is showing off a portable information terminal powered by a methanol fuel-cell at a presentation for an upcoming exhibition in Japan. The PVPish device key features include a 3.5" screen and iVDR mini drives as storage. In addition to Hitachi trying to one up its competitors this is a good move for fuel cells. I am sure it is safe but alcohol & heat scares me.
