I know very little about antenna theory, but I know they're still putting relatively large[1] metal loops into at least some phones, to act as antennas. Smaller than the stick-out-antennas of old, but still larger than the modules pictured in the PhoneBlox sketches. Perhaps there are alternative antenna designs which could do the job, but I'm curious why they're not being used already. Cost or complexity, perhaps? -- Ben [1] As in, about the size of the phone.
