Nokia patents touchscreen device with multi-function USB strap
This one has to be amongst the most ambitious patents that we have seen from Nokia in the recent past. The Finnish handset major has bagged a patent for what it calls “a portable electronic device having a cable that functions as a carrying strap, a stylus, a data cable, and a power cable.â€
Cutting away the patent jargon, Nokia’s TOUCHSCREEN device has a USB cable tucked away neatly in a cavity below the touchscreen. The cable can act as a hand/neck strap, headsets and even a stylus. The device looks kinda cute in the patent and having the USB cord attached to the device ensures that you don’t leave/lose it. But the bigger question is whether this is going to be one of the phones in the touchscreen ‘portfolio’ that Nokia intends to launch later this year?
