Essentially, this here device could enclose your battery in a hinged compartment that swivels around, which would enable cellphone users to place their handsets in a &quot;docked position&quot; without needing an actual cradle. Brilliant, we say.&quot;</em><br /><br /><img border="1" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/spt/auto/1188415827.usr8.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Samsung has once again given me another &quot;wow&quot; moment. Usually when I get bored at work and I want to watch a movie on my phone or watch some streaming live TV via <a href="http://www.orb.com">Orb,</a> I just prop my phone against a pack or two of <a href="http://www.3m.com/us/office/postit/">Post-Its</a>, but this kickstand seems like a much better idea!

I agree. Then I could also stop buying a cradle for all my phones. I'm really liking Samsung. Nice work guys! (now where's my WinMo6 upgrade for the BlackJack ;) )
