Motorola patent application reveals cellphone / HMD combo craziness
It looks like Motorola isn't about to let Apple have the goofy, non-existent product spotlight to itself, with a recent patent application of its revealing some plans of its own for a head-mounted display. As you can see above, however, this one is no ordinary HMD, with it also able to be folded up into an apparently over-sized cellphone for times when you want to look slightly less conspicuous. Of course, the chances of such a product actually making it off the drawing board are pretty slim (thankfully), and no doubt even less likely given the recent cuts to Motorola's research division.

This is one of the reasons why Motorola are the number 1 handset manufacturer in the world and why their marketshare eats up every other phone manufacturer.
Sheer brilliance.

The facemask and curly phone cord don't lose him too many more points than the haircut already did. Hey... are those suspenders?

And who came up with the brilliant idea of merging an 80's era cell phone with a Myvu?
