Cell Phones to Get Smart Batteries: "Warning, Warning, Danger, Danger"

With all the negative publicity over Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, whether it's the Nokia battery recall last year, the Sony laptop battery fiasco, exploding Eee PC batteries, and more --- smart batteries that could warn you of an impeding disaster would be great, wouldn't they?

Wouldn't it be better and cheaper for all if they just made decent batteries instead of making them "smart"? I don't recall laptop batteries getting that much higher capacity over the last year or two, which is when these incidents occurred, so I don't think that's really the problem.
