ADzero: A smartphone made from bamboo
A 23-
year-old British
student will
launch a mobile
phone made
largely from
bamboo, The
Telegraph reported.
The smartphone, called 'ADzero',
is expected to launch later this
year. Made from four-year-old
organically grown bamboo that
has been treated to improve its
durability, the phone runs
Google's Android operating
system.
Kieron Scott-Woodhouse, from
Shepherds Bush in London,
designed the phone because he
was frustrated that so many
existing models looked similar to
each other.
He is a student of Middlesex
University. A technology
entrepreneur had contacted him
after he posted designs online.
The phone was initially intended
for the Chinese market but an
enthusiastic reception in Britain
means it will go on sale in
design retailers later this year,
the newspaper said.http://ksp2347.blogspot.com
