Samsung Thinks Your Battery Should Double as a Kickstand

"In a patent application that outlines an invention sure to be the death of spare cradles, Samsung has conjured up the idea of a 'self-cradling portable communication terminal.' 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 "docked position" without needing an actual cradle. Brilliant, we say."
Samsung has once again given me another "wow" 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 Orb, I just prop my phone against a pack or two of Post-Its, but this kickstand seems like a much better idea!
