Sharp has decided that the lack of plugs by the sea is just too much to bear, so has released the world's first waterproof and solar-powered mobile phone.
While some of you may recall a couple of efforts from the likes of Samsung and LG in Barcelona last February, Sharp (in association with Japanese network KDDI) has beaten them both to the punch.
The phone is scheduled for a release in June, although there's no word if it will actually make it out of Japan. That said, these handsets are largely aimed at developing nations (ie those where an electricity grid is scarce) so it's likely they'll ship worldwide.
