Love the whole concept and can't wait for it to be available commercially.

This improves on what is arguably the weakest part of computing today.

Regarding the battery life of these devices, would it be possible to implement wireless power using a mat? This would allow the sensors to recharge without cables, even recharging as they're in use.
