Companys often place patents on everything no matter how stupid or crazy the idea is and they do this to protect their ideas. So when RIM patents a product its nothing new, but when its this weird we just have to share it. What we have here is a Pearl like device with one image showing a rounded keyboard on the base of the smartphone and one with the keys held horizontal. Now these devices probably wont see the light of day as a consumer device but would you buy it? like I mean it looks cool and interesting but is it practical?
