    I have deaf parents and am also involved in the deaf community and this would be huge. To be able to have full conversations that include the beauty of ASL's full language structure with non-manual markers and classifiers that can't be expressed in english would be amazing.

    @LuckyLakey: 3 or 4 years ago, I remember reading an article in the Washington Post about the popularity of the Sidekick among students at Gallaudet University. I think it was one of the first phones that had a heavy emphasis on messaging with its querty keyboard.


    Would ASL via video chat be significantly faster than IM/SMS?

    @SwatLax: The sidekick also added the ability to be able to use ip relay on the go which gave Hearing Impaired people the option to call hearing people in sitiuations where a phone was not accessible nor was a TTY. The problem with IM and SMS is that they are trying to use an english grammar structure to communicate and ASL grammar is more akin to french. It's a romantic language. This is why there was an inappropriate relation with "DEAF/DUMB/MUTE" when all actuality its just the same as a person who is from a foreign country doesn't use proper english. We just expect that if they're born here and live here they should speak it and write it the same way the rest of us do. Thats why they have "interpreters" not "translators".

    From the patent application itself:

    In some implementations, a proximity sensor 168 can be included to facilitate the detection of the user positioning the mobile device 100 proximate to the user's ear and, in response, to disengage the touch-sensitive display 102 to prevent accidental function invocations. In some implementations, the touch-sensitive display 102 can be turned off to conserve additional power when the mobile device 100 is proximate to the user's ear.

    Sorry folks.

    @YoSoyHe-Man!!_GitEmSteveDave: and your point is:


    [0029]The mobile device 100 can also include a camera lens and sensor 180. In some implementations, the camera lens and sensor 180 can be located on the back surface of the mobile device 100. The camera can capture still images and/or video.

    @beekerstudios: That the item circled is the proximity sensor, 168. The camera, 180, is located in a seperate place, and judging by the different line pattern, it's on a different plane/surface than the proximity sensor. The sensor is to shut off the touch screen when it senses it's near your ear. It's not a CCD or anything.

    What we really need is booty to booty video chat for the whole "video sex" thing to really take off. The iPhone is ideally suited with cheek plant touchscreen interface for maximum pleasure.
