Mobile phone projectors

I understand this is supposed to be the next 'big thing' on mobiles, so
watch out after dark if you have a white wall on your house.
I'd hate to think what the battery life might be like though...

Phones were getting smaller (in some cases too small) but it looks if
the trend in going back to something the size of a house brick

A few years ago no-one would consider buying anything less than 15 inch
TV or computer monitor - until the mobile phone operators came along
with hyped up applications on their equipment.

Are you sure you don't mean that they will plug into a projector? Mine
will.

Wow - will be able to project a picture of what we looked like a few seconds
ago!

No, they are mobile phones, that are mobile phone size, that contain full
video projectors that are extremely power efficient.

As demoed on BBC Click almost a year ago:

And here's a prototype from TWO years ago:

Or a video conference in a meeting, or a movie, or photos taken elsewhere,
etc. Were you similarly disparaging with your prediction of how useful SMS
text messaging would be? "Wow, only 180 characters!" :-(

Oh, I think just about everyone did, including the handset makers
and the networks. My first GSM phone, an NEC I think made
a single quiet beep when it received an SMS, very easy to miss,
and sending one needed some deep drilling into the menus.
As friends and relatives began to acquire GSM phones themselves,
or upgrade from analogue phones, my party-trick when they
visited was to send them a text, in nearly every case it was the
first time they had received one and were totally unaware of
the feature, and were hard pressed to think of a practical use
other than to perform the same party-trick.
After all many of us had upgraded from text-pagers to a
mobile phone.
Even today I very rarely send a text, but I concede the ability
to receive them is sometimes useful.

I make great use of the Nokia software that allows me to compose texts, etc,
on the computer and send them from the phone. When it's someone's birthday I
usually send them a text which comprises a full recital of the Happy
Birthday song, followed by a personal message and lots of kisses.

OK, I know.

Nokia PC suite 7 is great, i'm using it now for one touch access
to connect my laptop to a Nokia 6120c over Three internet to send this
