I will run out of methanol, and won't be able to find a tech-y shop nearly that sells it. Then maybe one day it will leak in my pocket, and I get a big methanol stain on my suit. It will smell of methanol all the time, and so will my hands..
I really don't think it will be all that great..

but i guess you're ok walking around with that lighter in your pocket right? my point is that when any of the manufacturers decide to put any of these products to market im sure their concern is safety and ease of use. As far as the future of products using fuel cells, im sure they'll make some sort of cartridges that are user refillable and hot swapable so you wont have to directly fill the device, kinda like batteries filled with methanol instead of Li ion's.
