Yes, let's put a piece of radioactive waste into every pocket. What could go wrong?

With the exception of the listed medical devices, all the other use cases point to military, and it would make sense to have such a battery in that environment.

Medical devices definitely make me ask your question.

They do mention smart phones as an application they're targeting though, which is where I get the 'every pocket' image from

Yeah, very stupid, unless it’s for military applications where there’s no guarantee of power to recharge a phone everyday. I doubt this would be used for the everyday person. But if it is, I’m real curious to see the impact, especially for the people who store their phone in a pocket.
