Intel today announced the release of our latest G4 product, the Intel® PhartPhone™, which propels Intel’s eco-tech leadership into the entirely new category of self-powered handheld devices.
Intel® PhartPhone™
The Sales and Marketing Group (SMG) advertising campaign will feature this tagline to build awareness and acceptance for the new devices: “Amaze your colleagues with your eco-cred. Your PhartPhone will turn your friends green—with envy!”
How does the PhartPhone work? It’s easy. No more batteries. If you’re running low on power, simply release into the special funnel (a discreet yet convenient three-foot hose supplied with your new PhartPhone) and you’ll be talking, texting and tooting all night long.
The PhartPhone is the result of several years of top-secret development work by Intel Eco-Tech program office and Intel Labs. “In our drive to deliver a low-power PC, we’ve hit a wall,” explained Intel Labs VP Mark Balderdash said. “Atom is great, sure, but to meet the Moore’s Law test, the only way forward was to figure out how to embed a methane gas transducer in future form factors, so that individuals can power their own PCs and handheld devices.”
The PhartPhone is not the only Intel technology made possible by harnessing and storing methane gas. Thanks to a joint venture with several global agribusinesses, our manufacturing facilities will also be leveraging vast quantities of so-called “green gas” emitted by cows, sheep and swine.
“We knew we needed to push the envelope when it came to addressing both environmental and economic concerns going forward,” said TMG leader Ryan Krzandwich. “Anaerobic digestion technology collected from swine and cattle feedlots will allow us to harvest noxious gases in sufficient quantities to power our tools.
“By aggressively embracing this new ‘green gas’ technology, we expect to and save enough money to pay for round-the-clock free meals for our fab workers, which will now consist largely of legumes and cabbage. Naturally, bunny suits will be modified to provide full nose-mouth coverage to accommodate the eco-aroma.”
