Besides looking like a brick, the idea behind a methanol powered phone sounds pretty neat. Besides, it has to be better that a methane powered unit, no?

I don’t have a whole lot of information on this one, except a few bits here and there. I know the name Toshiba was mentioned, coupled with the “methanol powered” buzzwords. So, I’m just guessing here… it’s a stretch, but could this be a methanol powered cellphone?

Aside from that, I hear it’s 40mm wide thick (Holy Crap!), which is mammoth-y if anything, but you know, it’s powered by nature’s fart, so that makes it interesting.

If there are any of you Japanese enabled, perhaps you can enlighten us by translating this page for us. Or is it Korean? [Get the links]
