As with many things (such as electric cars), the problem is
in developing batteries that are small enough and strong
enough to power the electronics for any period of time.
The Palm computer you spoke of still requires a handful
of batteries. Miniaturizing electronics is not a big
problem -- you're just directing electrons around and they're
small. Generating significant amounts of energy with a small
mass...? Now you're limited by thermodynamics.
On topic, there are two nests with Am. Goldfinch incubating
eggs in Bradford Pear trees along the parking lot and
entranceway here where I work in West Knoxville.
