"Will this be causing the same hoo-hah as palm oil? I doubt it since it 
doesn't seem that orangutans will be affected. Speciesism is alive and 
well folks."

The
 mining used for electronics also involves human exploitation and animal
 exploitation. The monocultures used in the production of most of our 
food is an ecological disaster. The transports of foods and other 
products all around the world is also an ecological disaster. So if we 
want to avoid as much harm as possible, and to make an ethical 
enviroment friendly choice, we should try to buy locally produced food 
and other products that aren't produced in monocultures.
Yes, it is clearly speciesist.

This is a very important video clip about the slave work involved in the electronics that we use:
"We
 must rid our lives of unnecessary violence. Animal products and all 
other animal use are out, and there is more we can do...such as only 
buying what we need, buying second hand whenever possible, and buying 
non-slave made whenever possible." Quote Sarah
So
 if you are contemplating just buying or using some electronical 
product, or other product (most products, including most clothes involve
 slavery work somewhere in the product chain), and many food items (a 
big amount of the cocoa and sugar produced in the world is produced by 
slaves - see the documentary 'The Dark Side of Chocolate') just for 
entertainment or pleasure, please ask yourself if this can be justified 
given the slavery, death and violence involved in making the product.
