Portable Devices Are Cooling Down - Thanks to IsoSkin

Breakthrough technology in portable device cooling will achieve great things, according to the report on ZDNet. The new "skin" will allow manufacturers to shrink the size of such devices without compromising any battery life. The San Francisco-based company Novel Concepts has developed what it dubs "IsoSkin" wherein two pieces of plastic are separated by just 500 microns, but vaccuum filled with a coolant (most likely water) to relocate heat away from the processor to cooler parts of the device. The patents for the technology were obtained recently, and a prototype is expected within the year, devices hitting retail store shelves in two. For more information read over at ZDNet.
