Titled Systems and Methods for Integrating a Portable Electronic Device with a Bicycle, Apples newest patent application inspires a vision of what Steve Jobs company has in store for cycling enthusiasts.

Is Apple planning to revolutionize cycling as we know it? We cant really tell.

However, do note that the keyword here is integrated meaning the functions of the bike are read by the said portable electronic device. Judging by the illustration provided, the iPhone/iPod is either connected or reads the functions of several parts of the bicycle.

Some pundits are already guessing the specs of such a blend of machine and, uh, machine; GPS and a mapping system so your pleasant ride wont be encumbered by a gross ignorance of directions and possibly some sort of speed sensor you can use in conjunction with your music listening.

Of course, since were talking iPhones/iPods here, core functions like calls or music will be easier to manage while cycling away. You know, we may be onto something herelike a self steering bicycle. C

Contemplating the possibilities of this yet unnamed product, it does gives new meaning to the phrase Look Ma, no hands!

One of our members over at AndroidForums.com – Roman G. – is returning his HTC EVO 4G to Sprint due to a physical defect, and before he exchanges it for a brand new one, he decided to give us a look at how well the screen holds up to tough conditions.

His scratch test consisted of taking a metal screw, a key, a razor blade, and a penny to the EVO’s screen with no regard to its safety (or feelings, because phones do have feelings). The result was pretty impressive: nary a scratch or nick to be found (at least from what we can see, and we just decided to take his word for it, anyway).

If anything, this just tells us that you won’t have much to worry about if your keys/loose change and your phone end up brawling with each other in the same pocket. Still, who wouldn’t want the piece of mind of keeping a screen protector on that beautiful display?

[Note]: The glass covering the camera lens on the back of the phone is still very scratchable, so don’t use this as an excuse to treat your phone like it stole something from you.

Some cool cat over in Engadget’s comments claims to have gotten a bit of hands on time with the totally not-yet-announced Droid 2, and was kind enough to bring back a pic to back up their story.

The pic only shows the keyboard — but if it’s real, what a difference. They’ve dropped the mostly-useless D-Pad to increase the size of each key, while also bumping up the depth of the keys — which, given that the Droid 1’s keyboard was almost perfectly flat, is a massive upgrade.

We are almost at the end of another week here at Geeky Gadgets, with lots of cool new gadgets announced, plus some fun gizmos and geeky gear.

As usual in our search for the coolest gadgets, and technology news we havent been able to cover everything we spotted so here is our round up of the coolest gadgets we missed this week.
