New RIM Patent Shows Off Sliding Camera Cover

Cell Passion has the knack of picking up patents and WiFi Alliance information and here's an interesting patent from RIM. The patent shows off a sliding camera cover for quite possibly one of their future BlackBerries. We don't know which BlackBerry will have this, but let's hope RIM can push this out next year. I also hope that they can perfect it, since I've read that the Nokia N97's camera cover actually scratches the lens.
