Samsung debuts E200 Eco phone, made of corn

When it comes to looks, the E200 is nothing special. In fact, it looks much like a Nokia phone from 5 years ago. But Samsung is producing this phone not to beat a world record in specs, but to continue the eco-crusade encompassing the last decade. The E200 is special because the shell is made out of ‘bioplastic,’ also known as corn. The phone boasts has a 1.3 megapixel camera and MP3 player functionality.
What do you think - kickass iPhone or (semi) biodegradable E200? At least the choice is clear for hitmen - they dispose of so many phones anyway, why not save the environment at the same time!

Once done with the corn phone, they could also pour a little olive oil in a pan, sprinkle a little salt, fry it up & eat the evidence

It’s a step in the right direction, but there is controversy surrounding using food product for anything other than food.
Having in mind how hot it is here, is there any danger this thing to start popping in my pocket? Like real popcorn?
Kidding of course.
People are thinking of lots of ways to make products more.. nature-friendly. Bio-telephones!
