Japanese engineers turn old mobile phones into new PCs

Recycling gadgets is going to become a high-profile issue in the coming years, since we’re not doing it enough. A team of Japanese engineers at Hokuto System have a new spin on the idea, turning parts from old mobile phones into PCs on business card-sized circuit boards. Tech Digest reports.

"The new device is called DVIEW, and is going on sale in Japan imminently, complete with a 2.2-inch LCD screen, an 81MHz ARM CPU, and a 16-bit stereo soundcard."
