I’m really not sure why this requires a patent – the surfboard-like phone. Anyhow, the real patent has been filed for this concept phone that aims to appeal to surfers around the globe.
However, there’s a novelty here as well — this surfboard can be left standing upright while watching video clips, listen to MP3 sound tracks or talk hands free. The upper deck side of the board contains a recessed LCD screen and a keypad with protruding neoprene buttons. Plus, with the fins retracted flush against the phone body, the pointed nose makes it easier to slide the phone into a tight trouser pocket. (via: textually)

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
