Too funny. I started looking for something similar and, after not being able to find a thing, ran across the same patent. It really sucks that someone could patent something so obvious and hold an entire market hostage. Based on my limited experience with patents this one looks pretty weak, but since most innovation in this space comes from small companies, who can afford to take the chance?

Another fine example of patents pushing innovation into the future!

Patents need to go away. They are retarding progress in a very severe way, imo.
