New USB cell phone antenna patent makes me question America's patent system even more

Samsung has filed a patent that would put a full size male USB port on your mobile phone, right where the antenna should be. Crunchgear thinks this will fail miserably due to the fact that accessory vendors like to make their systems proprietary. I think this will fail because the form factor of a standard USB port is bloody massive. Nokia (NYSE: NOK) just switched over to microUSB on the 8600 and 6500. Let us not forget that the next version of USB will be wireless and those chips will go in our devices. There was a Nokia N93 at this years CES with Wireless USB.
