Samsung phones to be water-powered

Samsung is planning to introduce a water-powered phone by 2010. Seriously.

The Korean company has developed a micro-fuel cell and hydrogen generator powered by ordinary water, which reacts with metal inside the handset to produce hydrogen gas. This gas then reacts with oxygen to provide up to 10 hours of talk time battery life.

So if you drop your phone in the bath, you’ll be doing it a favour.
