Cell phone sports built-in cigarette lighter

A Shenzhen China-based company called Seabright Industrial Limited is selling a cell phone with a built-in cigarette lighter. The SB6309 Lighter Phone has a sliding cover on the back, which moves to reveal a car-dashboard type cigarette lighter. This might be a popular feature in a place like China where more than 60% of adult men smoke cigarettes. (props to Engadget)
