Surely a cell phone of 100 years from now (or maybe sooner, who knows) could be as smart as a human. Now add some arms and legs, and make the main energy source be bio-food (I guess a cell phone uses about 30k joules, whereas a full-size human uses about 2000kcals ~ 2,000*4184 j daily, so f'ing powerful, of course locomotion will use more, but hopefully even out). Make a decent character creation so people can look like whatever they want.

We need to teach our cell phones to eat food is the first step. That will make for exceptionally long lasting batteries, and save the trouble of having to find your charger, which can be annoying, as we all know.
