Samsung Makes Mobile Phones Out of Corn

All hail the Great Cornholio!
Korean electronics giant Samsung has announced the planned launch of an environmentally friendly mobile phone made from -- get this -- corn flour, for later this month.
According to the company, the new W510 uses "natural-dissolved bio-plastic made from corn starch for the battery cover and other parts"; in addition to the plastic parts, the company applies other environmentally friendly materials such as anti-bacterial surface coatings to "minimize harmful effects of mobile handsets on the nature and the human body." The coating is water-soluble, and the phone uses precisely zero heavy metals (read: lead, mercury, and cadmium) in its production.
Hopefully cell phones aren't giving us all cancer, because if so this is all really a moot point. [Source: Textually]

Sounds pretty good, but the phone will definitely be useless now after I drop it in the toilet or wash it in my jeans.
