It's an unexamined patent application.  Almost every new patent application is published 18 months after it is filed, with no mind given to its merit.  You too can file an application on any ridiculous thing and see it in print 18 months later.  <br><br>Regarding Engadget's comments, nothing's been "approved" yet, either.  This application probably hasn't even been examined once.   <br><br>Nevertheless, I bet this comment forum will soon devolve into various irrelevant rants on why the U.S. patent system is so broken.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Masseyhall]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 9th 2007 9:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Patent envisions landline phones displaying targeted ads]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/09/patent-envisions-landline-phones-displaying-targeted-ads/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/09/patent-envisions-landline-phones-displaying-targeted-ads/</guid><description><![CDATA[i wonder if it will come with voice recognition so that it can show you ads targeted towards whatever your current conversation is about.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jd]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 9th 2007 9:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Patent envisions landline phones displaying targeted ads]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/09/patent-envisions-landline-phones-displaying-targeted-ads/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/09/patent-envisions-landline-phones-displaying-targeted-ads/</guid><description><![CDATA[What kind of phones?
