Ok, not Rome, but somewhere in China. But Shenzhen wouldn't have rhymed now would it? Anyway, you're looking at what's scheduled to be the world's first projector phone from ChinaKing (aka, CKing). The bits of information we scraped off the machine translated text reveals an LCoS-based projector that relies upon a LED light source and manual focus adjustment. This brick (and we mean brick) is supposedly capable of projecting a 30-inch, 640 x 480 pixel image for up to 2-hours at a time. 2-hours you say, not possible! Perhaps you forgot about the 666 day battery. Nah. A couple more pics after the break.
Holy shit it is a BRICK!
other than the projector part it looks like what people have been asking for in an iPhone- a slide out keypad
i dont see a purpose for this, because it is absolutly collasal
but that is the closest immitation to the iPhone interface that i have seen
good job CKing!
anyone notice the icon on the dock that has a installer icon? which is on jailbroken iPhones and iPod Touches.
I REALLY wonder why you ALL focus on the iPhone icons.
Seems that projector, LCoS and LED are all forgotten.
How I wish some goddamn proud pepole can come to China and see some companies' extraordinary creativity.
I can't even believe some of these comments here:
"omg biased site, everything is an iphone clone"
"wtf this doesn't even look like an iphone, it has a keypad"
"omg apple-engadget iphone clone story blah blah"
Do you idiots even SEE THE ICONS on this f'n phone? Seriously....did you even look at them. Better yet, have you even seen iphone icons? Well you don't need to look at iphone icons, this awesome phone just went ahead and put them on it for you. That shutter effect on the camera is a nice rip job as well. Did it ever occur to you that "iphone clone" could very well be directed at the UI...which it is a pretty damn good CLONE.
Eww..."LED light source"? I think I'll pass. Wake me up when somebody's implemented Microvision's laser-based PicoP in a phone =P
