Nokia N86 8MP has kickstand that launches apps on the device

When is a kickstand more than just a kickstand? When it belongs to the Nokia N86 8MP handset, that's when. Instead of just holding up the device at a very suitable angle for reading the screen, once the plastic tab is pulled out it launches a selected app from the phone such as the video and music players or the internet browser to name just a few. Other devices also have unusually placed on/off switches such as the HTC Touch Pro/Touch Diamond where a pull of the stylus out of its magnetic holder will wake the phone up from sleep mode.

That's the most retarded feature that will never be used on any device ever.

Actually it's not a bad idea. It's similar to double-clicking the homescreen button on an iPhone. I have mine set to launch the iPod when I double-click it and I use it all the time when I access the iPod. Most people who use the kickstand will probably do so most often when they use a certain program like the media player which you can set it to launch. Novel yes, but not a terrible idea.

Is it just me or does that last sentence make NO sense?
