SAy it with chocolate
High street confectioner Thornton has announced the development of a prototype disposable mobile phone.
The Cellchoc, which is billed as the "ultimate recyclable mobile phone", has a case made from 'handling-resistant' chocolate, and contains special consumable circuitry developed by Choctronics, the "edible semiconductor research company".
Thorntons says the device will provide 30 minutes of talktime. Once this is used up, the device can be scoffed.
Some parts, such as the corners of the casing, could be eaten even whilst talk time is still available without effect on performance, although it would make the phone look "dog-eared", explained the company.
Cellchoc users can even download exciting new flavours via GRPS.
"The idea of entirely edible PCs, laptops or even printers and associated telecoms networks is not beyond our joint capabilities," claimed Prof Lolai, chief edible-technology researcher at Choctronics.
