There is an article http://www.sciam.com/2001/0701issue/0701scicit4.html
in Scientific American July 2001, which made it to a mention in the UK science press.

An Israeli company, Medis Technologies http://64.77.84.73/products.cfm?products_copy=fuel_cell&notebook=yes
is proposing to launch a fuel-cell soonish. Not quite clear when, there is a reference to "maybe in about 3 years time."
