I worked for a major mobile phone manufacturer a while ago. They offered a pathetic £200 (I think) for any inventions you submitted to them, and they got a patent on. Funnily enough, I kept the ideas to myself.
(Has anyone come up with a phone / camera that does automatic tagging based on GPS location? Your phone knows you are in front of some famous landmark, and tags the photos with the name. I assume it has been done by now, but this was when the first phones were starting to incorporate GPS and it seemed like a novel idea).
