Incidentally, patents only hold their validity if it's actually used in a product within a certain timespan I was given to understand, and that's probably a timespan shorter than before this will ever see the light of day.

Further, although this may be a horrible idea and Moto can't seem to get their act together. We should give them some slack regarding the hideousness of the design and lack of certain necessary components, i.e. some kind of support. Patent applications should be filed as close to conception of the invention as possible. The guys who draft the application (me) are usually given a description of the concept of the invention and then they write it up. Desing details are worked out later by people who know about ergonomics, color, etc. You would be hard-pressed to find patent applications for new products that look anything like the actual commercial embodiment (of course applications for improvements typically do look like the product, as do design patent applications).]]>Jun 20th 2008 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/motorola-patent-application-reveals-cellphone-hmd-combo-crazin/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/motorola-patent-application-reveals-cellphone-hmd-combo-crazin/Jun 20th 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/motorola-patent-application-reveals-cellphone-hmd-combo-crazin/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/motorola-patent-application-reveals-cellphone-hmd-combo-crazin/(LMAO!! on the drawing)

*cough* To keep this on-topic: while I almost agree with all of those 'Geordi LaForge 1.0' comments, I'd have to say: Motorola should try and make this into a helmet instead of a silly visor. Nah, what they should do is style it after one of those bounty hunter helmets from Star Wars — wasn't it Boba Fett that accessed some of the features of his suit via the inside of his helmet? Eh, whatever — have all the dialing buttons on the inside of it, that way you wouldn't have to deal with the pain of dialing a wrong number due to a sideways (or possibly what you only THOUGHT was sideways) keypad!

Though, tongue cramps might be a little uncomfortable — so let's just hope you're not a telemarketer, or if you are, that your company doesn't decide to invest in those things.]]>Jun 20th 2008 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/motorola-patent-application-reveals-cellphone-hmd-combo-crazin/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/motorola-patent-application-reveals-cellphone-hmd-combo-crazin/
