You have to start somewhere. Many great ideas began as far-out proposals. The far-out part comes in for this concept cell phone, which is codenamed “Butterfly.”

The phone, the product of the imagination and ingenuity of a 15-year-old student from Korea who happens to be studying in Canada at the moment, has many interesting features. Among those is the slide, which is horizontal, creating two screens that would work very well in a Web browsing environment. Another timely feature is the screen, which is touch-activated. (Where have we heard that recently?)

You’d also get a music player element, a camera, and the ability to save information onto SD cards.
