Hop-On and Intel have a partnership to produce disposable cell phones. These things better have really low costs to be practical. I already have a cell phone, and I'm sure that most people that want a cell phone already have one. But the idea is novel.

Hop-On said Intel will provide chipsets using the TDMA cell phone standard for use in its disposable phones worldwide. Initial target markets will be in the United States and Latin America, the company said.

Hop-On's disposable cell phones, which it says are recyclable, will carry an hour's worth of prepaid calling minutes in the United States.
