LOL! The phone in the picture is an LG Voyager and the images on the right are not real. Anyway, this does have some real potential for practical application, if properly deployed. More effective Screen space is generally beneficial, as long as they do not sacrifice a real keyboard for a soft one! IMO

Why so much hate on patents? If it weren’t for patents many of these companies couldn’t afford to invest in R & D. Intellectual property rights are crucial. Just because a company has a patent doesn’t mean other companies can’t use the design. The patent owning company could sell licenses or choose not to enforce the patent. Anarchy is not preferable to the rule of law.

@joel, bluetooth. they already do it with mobile games such as, (cant believe im saying this), that ipod touch commercial with the 3 people playing soccer.

i think it would be pretty interesting to see what moto does with this. there has yet to be a phone (other then flip phones) with two screens and this could potentially allow people who want larger screens, but a very compact phone, to get what they desire. just think, having a screen with a total of 6″ of real estate, but can be the size of a 3″ phone when put away.

Now if they did this so they could bring any phone next to it and set it up as a second screen, that would be something to patent. Not sure how the phones would share info, but thats not my department.

If they haven’t come up with a way to do it, I can’t see why a patent is allowed.

I’m glad no one patented the *idea* of a car….

You shouldn’t be able to patent a device because it uses new technology like an am-oled screen or a flexible oled screen. However if you develop the flexible oled screen then you should be able to patent that.
When larger flexible oled screens are ready to be implemented the line between phones and Pc’s will really be gone.

Don’t they do this already. Its like when they have 6 or 9 monitors or TVs combined together to make one giant screen. are they trying to clam a patent on something like that?
