Microsoft Patents Module-Based Smartphone 101
edumacator writes "It seems Microsoft is working on an interesting concept for smartphones, or maybe they are just adding to their patent war chest. From the article: 'A recent Microsoft patent describes a smartphone with a slide-out section that can house one of several modules, including a QWERTY keyboard, a gaming pad, a second display or a battery pack. Even better: The modules work wirelessly when they aren't docked in the smartphone's slider. Another useful way the modular smartphone concept could be used: The keyboard can be used as a controller while the smartphone acts as a TV-connected media hub.'"
Wait, wait, wait. (Score:2, Funny)
Did you just suggest that Microsoft is creating wireless batteries for smartphones?

That's the problem. They did a search on Bing and didn't find anything.
