seems practical, but then impractical

wait let me plug in another mouse while i take this call!

lmao.

would be good for laptops though…use the touchpad while on call.

i think this is one for the techno geek that lkes to show off.

Lesson: single-purpose products are better.

But as I understand it, Jonty has about a year to file the patent from December 8th; of course Sony may be able to demonstrate prior art.

a) Predicting in your post on Dec 8, 2005 that something like this was a possibility now. Link

b) I posted an article on 6th about this phone on my blog [Link] linking your post where I made the comment.

I simply can’t believe that it escaped your notice. Now, of all the things, Engadget gets mentioned in your post.

Think, think, think.

Jonty.
