That is just a little bit scary. Cool that cellphones can do that...but still makes you wonder...

I've never seen that before, but the idea isn't all together that surprising in hindsight. Cell phones operate at a frequency very close to microwave ovens. In fact, I believe cell phones are in the "microwave" portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, whose thermal properties can induce heating in nearby objects. If you've ever been on a cell phone call for an extended period of time, you've probably experienced this phenomenon with your ear.

Lady friend once made a phone call from a flower in a slender vase

on our corner table in a Thai restaurant in CA... but nobody was home.
