Nokia turns cellphone stylus into a joystick
Not that we're not a fan of pop-out joysticks on mobile phones (just think of the gaming consequences), but Nokia has semi-joined that party now with an even better patent (application): a stylus that is inserted into a socket in what appears to be a d-pad that really has the capability to turn a phone into an ultra-sensitive and tactile gaming platform. We'll save the patent application legalese and descriptive words for you here, but out pals over at Joystiq have all the goodness for your enjoyment if you're ready and willing to be imbued with true gaming goodness on your mobile.[Via Joystiq]
