Good news! Someone has just now invented a phone with a camera, internet connectivity, and the ability to download and play media! Wow! I can't believe no one thought of this before, but there it is. The US Patent and trademark Office, in its wisdom, has awarded a patent for just such a phone.
The "company" that was awarded the patent prompted filed legal actions against Apple, Nokia, RIM, Sprint, AT&T, HP, Motorola, Sony and others.
