NEC’s ECO corn-based phone

NEC is busting out an edible environmentally friendly phone, the N701i ECO, to match their corn laptops, according to Engadget, who has an actual picture of the phone.

"The phone body is made up of 75 percent plant materials, including corn and potatoes. Once disposed of (we hope not before) the phone eventually becomes water and carbon dioxide, leaving the earth free from housing another lame out-of-date phone. "
