Microsoft is heading towards a new ,mindblowing innovation. The latest patent filed by Microsoft, You will soon be able to use 2-in-1 phone, yup, a phone thats not a phone but 2 phones, sound confusing enough for you?  Microsoft filed the patent to the USPTO and here is a snippet of what they claim it does… 1. A mobile communications device comprising: a first separated module having a first display, the first separated module being operative to: receive a first accelerometer reading from a second separated module, determine a proximity to the second separated module based at least in part on the second accelerometer reading, determine a first portion of a user interface based at least in part on the first proximity, and display the first portion of the user interface to the first display; the second separated module having a second display, the second separated module being operative to: receive a second accelerometer reading from the first separated module, determine the proximity to the first separated module based at least in part on the second accelerometer reading, determine a second portion of the user interface based at least in part on the second proximity, and display the second portion of the user interface to the second display. 2. The mobile communications device of claim 1, wherein the first separated module is configured to combine with the second separated module to form a combined module. 3. The mobile communications device of claim 1, wherein the first separated module is further operative to: determine a first operation based on the first accelerometer reading, and execute the first operation on at least one of: the first separated module and the second separated module, and wherein the second separated module is further operative to: determine a second operation based on the second accelerometer reading, and execute the second operation on at least one of: the first separated module and the second separated module. 4. The mobile communications device of claim 3, wherein the first operation and the second operation are further operative to manipulate a representation of at least one of: the first portion of the user interface and the second portion of the user interface. 5. The mobile communications device of claim 4, wherein the first operation and the second operation are further operative to manipulate a representation of at least one of: the first portion of the user interface and the second portion of the user interface by at least one of the following: zooming into at least one of: the first portion the user interface and the second portion of the user interface, zooming out of at least one of: the first portion the user interface and the second portion of the user interface, and rotating at least one of: the first portion the user interface and the second portion of the user interface.

2. The mobile communications device of claim 1, wherein the first separated module is configured to combine with the second separated module to form a combined module.

3. The mobile communications device of claim 1, wherein the first separated module is further operative to: determine a first operation based on the first accelerometer reading, and execute the first operation on at least one of: the first separated module and the second separated module, and wherein the second separated module is further operative to: determine a second operation based on the second accelerometer reading, and execute the second operation on at least one of: the first separated module and the second separated module.

4. The mobile communications device of claim 3, wherein the first operation and the second operation are further operative to manipulate a representation of at least one of: the first portion of the user interface and the second portion of the user interface.

5. The mobile communications device of claim 4, wherein the first operation and the second operation are further operative to manipulate a representation of at least one of: the first portion of the user interface and the second portion of the user interface by at least one of the following: zooming into at least one of: the first portion the user interface and the second portion of the user interface, zooming out of at least one of: the first portion the user interface and the second portion of the user interface, and rotating at least one of: the first portion the user interface and the second portion of the user interface.
