Phone Will Be Powered from Ambient Radio Waves

We have all heard about phones that can be powered from solar power or even manual cranks but how about an "energy harvesting" one that feeds on ambient radio waves?

CBR Online reports:

"Nokia is developing a mobile phone that would utilise the ambient radio waves to recharge itself.

The new technology would work on the same principles as the Radio frequency Identification (RFID) tags and would convert ambient electromagnetic waves into electrical signals.
The mobile phone will use the ambient electromagnetic radiation, emitted from Wi-Fi transmitters, cell-phone antennas, TV masts and other sources." See full article.
