Courier, anyone?

excellent concept....
they seriously have to fine tune how that secondary display works... When I read that report all I was able to think was the Tegra 3's companion core !!! seems like a perfect match !!!
Also they would need to take care of how apps use the secondary screen...

A couple of things though, how does the second screen, facing away from the user, recognize incidental contact between the primary contact? Plus, the stretching of the walpaper to become a phone skin would mean the screen is on all the time. Pkus, drawing the camera on the back screen would mean that the entire back is a screen. It's a cool concept, but I doubt it's feasible as the video portrays it

Oh? They have the technology to get rid of the bezel? then why haven't they done it already?

If manufacturers had that technology, they should start making bezel-less phones right away! I'd buy one instantly!

So, they're patenting something they don't even know how to do? I didn't know you could do that. In that case, I've got TONS of patents to start filing. First up, invisible cars!

They didn't patent it, it's just a concept they're working on. But, one invisible car for me!
