This isn't something that we expect to see on the market any time soon, but it is a phone concept that we'd love to play around with. Unfortunately, the idea of a phone with a detachable screen may now be the sole property of Microsoft because of a recent patent...

Microsoft has patents for lots of things, but never puts them to use.

I don't think this will push though devolopement it will be too expensive to produce.

apple got a scarrier pattent: the shape of the apple air laptop. I hope they don't seek ban on the ultrabooks

Wish I had the thousands of dollars it takes to patent stuff. So many ideas...

IDK, what if the screen comes off and you loose it. Your phone basically becomes a brick.
