Furthermore, gadgets combining with other gadgets to make ubergadgets is cool as hell, and any opportunity to do so, no matter how impractical, should be encouraged.]]>Apr 14th 2007 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/Apr 14th 2007 3:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/
Actually, in all seriousness, you could have a Shuffle-like player that plugs into a PDA/phone device which would then have a visual display for the data. It does seem unnecessary, but I do like the sound of ubergadgets...]]>Apr 14th 2007 3:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/

Unhook the smaller device like you would a battery, pda bit goes in the glovebox or wherever and your set.

I like the mp3 player idea too, something like the small irver clips in somewhere and you can transfer all the songs youve just downloaded on a smoking huspa/ wifi phone.]]>Apr 14th 2007 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/

It never shipped, but was shown around a lot. You got a huge touchscreen with the Synergy part, running all the EPOC apps (ie, Symbian before Psion formed the Symbian alliance), or you could just pull the very small - for the time - phone off and use that instead.

I had a brief play with one when I was contracting for Symbian, it was pretty cool for the time...

This concept could do away with all of that, and it wouldn't have to increase the size of the smartphone much to do it. It's obviously not a huge seller but I think there could be a decent niche market for something like this. ]]>Apr 14th 2007 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/

The thing could be as small and stylish as you want (look how small BT headsets are!), and would work through a BT link to the pda.]]>Apr 15th 2007 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/Apr 15th 2007 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/patent-applicant-envisions-pda-with-removable-cellphone/
