Samsung Show hands-on and video at MWC
The Engadget Spanish team just got their hands on the Samsung Show (the European, i7410 model) projector phone that we first caught a sneak peek of a CES. The Show's projector is powered by Texas Instruments' DLP pico technology, and though the fact that it packs a projector does increase the bulkiness of the phone as far as looks are concerned, the phone is still rather small and light. The Show can project an image of anywhere from five to fifty inches, with a 480 x 320 resolution. It's got a 3.2-inch WQVGA touchscreen, the TouchWiz UI and also boasts a 5 megapixel camera. There are plans for this bad dude to hit Asia and Europe (but no word on if it'll ever make its way to North America), but we still haven't heard when, nor how much it'll cost when it arrives. Check the video after the break.

I wonder how long the battery will last with the mini projector in that phone.
748 consecutive hours?
Hopefully long enough to project classics such as this:

Given the picture, that headline should read "Samsung Show on hands..."
Oh punsome.
that is one chunky pinky
Was thinking the exact thing.
The phone looks pretty okay, a little bulky, I think for right now projectors should be separate till they can get just a little bit smaller.
I like the whole "TouchWiz" thing Samsung is doing but on this particular model, it doesn't look good... Maybe because the phone itself isn't that sleek?
Already have 1
looks great. looking forward to future developments here.
What a bewildering mashup.
You thought that laser pointers at theaters were annoying...
we'll get it in the US...two years from now.
Is it me or there's a pun to be made about videos and hands-on with these projector things.
Nope, not just you. Surprised it took that long for someone to catch that.
:-)
look good
This is going to be a disaster. A tool for harassment in NYC's public transportation.
Pr0n on a train!
Sign of things to come...I like where this is going.
it's not hands-on video this time...it's video on-hand
hey...who was that?
Play the rest of the transmission...
So as opposed to watching in full color on a nice screen, people will project a crappy image the size of the screen onto a surface a foot away to watch the video?
The resolution and thickness aren't good enough to be practical yet.
The resolution isn't much better then the screen, you gain a whole 1 inch and loose 3 hours of battery life to project it to something 5 inches away?
Take that, add in WinMo, and at least a full VGA screen or better, and they have my $500!
It IS Winmo.... and $500 on contract would be a rip off...
All Starbucks geeks that want one already have one.
how many of you guys are actually SAMSUNG fans, i never hear that many people rooting for them. Just wondering
well,
Show is not the phone's name, it's the 3G service of KTF
I remember someone has pointed that out in last post.
That is a seriously nice pico projector in that thing! I'm surprised it looks as good as it does. Now that's what I want in my next phone!
And you can't look at the video of him shining it on his hand... you have to go into the photo gallery and look at photo #22 to get a better idea of what the projector aspect can do.
