Projector in your phone, soon
Technology Review has a piece on Microprojector technology could let handheld gadgets like mobile phones and iPods display big pictures.
You may ask, why integrate a projector in mobile phones? In this day and age, where almost anything else has been integrated, the question is rather why not?
It actually has practical uses, e.g. for making mobile TV, photos and videos more practical than if viewing them on the small phone display. There's also a corporate use here, showing presentations using only your mobile phones, but that's a grain of sand compared to the potential of video and photo display.
The described projector is still under development and planned to be released commercially during 2008.
