Millions of pounds of carbon monoxide are used every year to manufacture chemicals such as detergents and plastics. Carbon monoxide can also be converted into liquid fuel.

University of California also has a press release. The research is supported by the Department of Energy

Yes, but the Nokia tablets don't offer HSDPA, or any other GSM conectivity option, for that matter. It'll be interesting to see what one can do with this little device...
