The rule (according to The Register's report) will be that 45% of devices have such batteries by 2016.

Ah... ok that's forever. We might not even have batteries as we know them today by then. We could have fuel cells that you recharge with methane or nitrogen at that time. Or, current battery tech could improve the life alot. Of course, battery designers always have to strongly consider planned obsolesce to keep the market alive.
