yup.

not sure i've ever seen such a vague and mostly meaningless patent.

the system is broken.

And we HAD flip phones!

I waited my whole life to be able to talk to people like I was on Star Trek! Yup, was able to do that for 4 years with my first Cell phone, then "Poof" along comes Apple and it's Smartass phone, and now?

No Star Trek Communicator for you!

Who wants a flip camera? That wasn't on Star trek?

Now I've got to wait until I'm 112 for a real light saber and I'll be too old to use it to cut firewood...

if they add the ability to make phone calls with this, Im all over it. Jake your on to something..... Lets call it the flip camera phone. We will have to partner with google and patent this fast, because everyone will want to add a camera to their phones.

It's a design patent, not a regular patent.
