We had a brief peek at yest another pico projecting set at MWC, this time an NTT docomo Samsung affair without a name, price, or even a release date. Specs are as sketchy as these are usable in a brightly lit room, but the hopes are this device will be used for services like mobile TV, home theater (yeah, right), document editing, presentations, and video calling. We were enthused to see the mock ups (pictured above) of where the design of this device could go -- and we're hoping that by next year the bricks we've seen lately will be gone and sleek design will become the norm. We filmed a bit of it in action and honestly, we've seen TI's pico projector before and it doesn't seem to have changed significantly. Follow the link to see the media.
Cool now I can take nice upskirt shots and project them on my wall for an HD fapping experience
wow, Samsung and now Sharp
Holy white balance!
ARrggh!! I just don't understand phone projectors at all! I'm sure someone somewhere has a use for them, but I would think the demographic for these things is so incredibly small, that the sheer number of articles Engadget has posted on these things within the last year astounds me.
I'm not trying to be annoying, but I just don't understand. If someone actually wants a projector in their phone, please reply and tell me why!
My .002 is that people who don;t normally carry a projector around with them but can sometimes be benefited with one would love this idea of a projector in their cellphone. If you carry a normal average projector with you, how would you power it if not near an outlet? Take for example a home contractor. Hes out on a job site talking to a home owner. He is trying to explain his idea to the homeowner, but is having a hardtime because the homeowner can't picture what he is talking about. SO the contrcator takes out his cellphone, googles "Bay window" and then displays the picture life size so then the homeowner can see what the contractor is talkign about and what it would look like. All this in real time in the middle of a field of a future building site.
the only thing this is good for is 2 way video calling and I'm sure it doesn't do that yet; ala Minority Report. By the way, nice contrast ratio, what is it like 1:10
