Just look at that. Do I really have to say anymore? This brilliant idea has been patented by Samsung. The keyboard is supposed to spring from both sides of the screen like a set of wings. If you’re interested in the flight paths of South Korean pigeons, read the patent.

    I don’t think it’s that bad. At the very least it should be a tad easier to type on than on the really tightly packed qwerty phones. The only problem that I foresee is whether the ends can confortably hold up the center (more massive area) of the phone. Right now, the ends looks way to thin to hold confortably in your hands.
