When can I replace my Vita battery with one of these? That's what I want to know.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

I am ^^ Mass production is just one of the things this has to go through; there are several other steps before the product even reaches that point. New technology always under goes a period of testing and perfecting and whatnot. I'm no inventor, so I don't know what has to be done to reach mass production, but I'm betting it'll take more than just 2-3 years... |
Now you're dropped the oil issue, you've dropped the manufacturing issue, we now have to tackle the research issue. The R&D is mostly done, the video made that pretty clear, but I agree there's that last portion to get it to fit tightly in a battery and tie it to an electric circuit. I agree with that, okay at most 2 years.
What I believe would be the primary issue is, like you said, adoption. The only moment this will fly is the moment companies realize the potential and take it to market. However, companies will be all over this just wait. There is no greater bottleneck in the world of portable computing than the battery problem, imho. Once this is adopted, they'll be able to chalk that one off.
So at most 3 years before this goes widespread, is my prediction.
The next question is who will own the patent, but I'm sure that will be resolved fairly quickly given how ubiquitous batteries are and how desperately the market needs more efficient ones.

Which color will it have?

Hey, I hope you're right! It would be awesome to have this out on the market within 3 years! I just don't think that will be possible... But if this works as fine as it seems to do in the video, batteries will soon become obsolete I'm sure.
I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!
Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
Bear in mind graphene was discovered only 3 years ago! We are just scratching the surface of the many applications it promises.

I think it's gonna be awesome!! Nintendo should patten this shit and conquer the world ^^

Apple and Samsung and the like will be all over this first, but I don't think this will be on market any time soon.

Actually, the oil industry would be fine. They make more money per barrel on other uses for oil than fuel. Such as for plastics and other oil based products.
Super/Ultra capacitors will change the way we think about energy storage. It's an exciting time.
the main issue with capacitors are their storage densities (I believe are Joules per meter squared), but their charge/discharge rates are phenomenal. Things like carbon nanotubes and Graphene should overcome a lot of the capacitor's limitations...
Imagine devices where the embedded "battery" will outlast the other electronics on the device...

I didn't say they would be doomed, but they would take a big hit in revenue and profits.
