Nokia envisions another handheld gaming device / handset hybrid

Apparently, Nokia just hasn’t swallowed the fact that the world doesn’t seem ready (or interested, whatever the case may be) in a handheld gaming system / cellphone hybrid. ‘Course, with all that PSP phone chatter going on, we guess the times could be a-changin’, and Nokia definitely doesn’t want to miss its shot at redemption. A fresh patent application from the outfit details a handheld device that acts as

a phone, multimedia player and gaming machine, but rather than forcing users to feel as whether they’re handling an NES controller, that concoction provides two wings that slip down for added comfort. Whether or not that thing would double as an acceptable boomerang remains to be seen.
