"They aren't dancing in the street, but purple-clad men have laptops strapped to their bellies in Times Square: Today in New York, Intel has been showing off its new Centrino system, a set of three components including a wireless module, that they claim will radically increase battery life, potentially improving it by 50 to 100 percent, through more efficient processor usage and chips that control the power to various components including the wireless radio.
