As Daizi Zheng, the designer of this innovative Nokia phone-based device succinctly stated: "The concept is using bio battery to replace the traditional battery to create a pollution free environment. Bio battery is an ecologically friendly energy generates electricity from carbohydrates (currently sugar) and utilizes enzymes as the catalyst. By using bio battery as the power source of the phone, it only needs a pack of sugary drink and it generates water and oxygen while the battery dies out"

The specially designed Bio battery can also carry up to three times as much energy on a "single charge" ...or sugary drink, I guess.

No additional information regarding release date and pricing were released.
