Another product, perhaps - but not this one. While they're cagey about giving actual numbers - the rendering that Dave of EEVBlog found was of a 100 microwatt device, about the same size/volume as an AA battery.
At 100 microwatts, that's apparently just enough to drive one segment of a watch LCD display[1].
