Samsung's MBP200 pico PJ, i7410 projector phone get ship dates

Two of Samsung's smallest beamers just got prices and release dates, but sadly, neither are in US dollars. The MBP200 pico projector will reportedly ship this May across the pond for €499 ($637), while the i7410 (more commonly referred to as the Show) will hit during the summertime for a price still to be determined. We know, it's not the bucketful of information you wanted, but it's something to whet your appetite until the suits at Sammy give us the dirty details we're really after.

What's wrong with displaying something to someone on the screen? Sorry if this is an obvious question...

[Invisiblemoose Posted Mar 12th 2009 3:28PM]

Uh... I'd say a 3-foot screen is a slightly more effective way to show video clips to some buddies than a 3" one. But that's just me.

In the year 2019, Apple will make an iPhone with a pico projector which will immediately be hailed as a life saving innovation.

haha yep, thats what i so hate bout apple -.-

[Bandigolo Posted Mar 12th 2009 4:25PM]

By 2019, R2D2 will provide us with all the projected imagery we can handle.

[superhobo Posted Mar 12th 2009 3:25PM]

This is obviously an Apple ripoff, everyone knows MBP stands for MacBook Pro.

[i Eye Posted Mar 12th 2009 3:27PM]

Sorry samsung, this gimmick will not make you sell more phones than Apple....

Go Pound Sand.

Sorry iGoon32, they are already selling more phones than Samsung worldwide.

Go Pound Fanboys.

Doesn't look serious enough. I mean if you're a businessman you might as well bring a real projector to a presentation. And for your friends - 3" screen is plenty.

[i Eye Posted Mar 12th 2009 3:42PM]

Thats not what she said!

[idogis1 Posted Mar 12th 2009 8:17PM]

I know it's pretty dorky, but I've been waiting for this for a while.

[tylersmyler Posted Mar 12th 2009 3:52PM]

Is there going to be some sort of 'beamer' phone etiquette once I get one?

Like, when I'm one the train, is it wrong to use the back of the guys head in front of me as my screen? Maybe I'll look for guys with white hats for better contrast..

btw, I love 'beamer' phone - whoever coined that..

[slamEVIL Posted Mar 12th 2009 4:09PM]

"Like, when I'm one the train, is it wrong to use the back of the guys head in front of me as my screen?"

dude, you're a genius!

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 12th 2009 4:31PM]

I will always carry a huge white cardboard sheet with me, to better project interesting things.

Oh! or if the person in front of you is bald you can project a face on his backhead without him knowing! Or a vagina.

[tylersmyler Posted Mar 12th 2009 4:45PM]

I think you have the right idea Stubb.
This thing was made to project vaginas and goatse's on the back of bald heads all over the place lol

I thought his hand was on fire . . .

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 12th 2009 5:14PM]

Now that REALLY would have been impressive.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 12th 2009 5:50PM]

I will get one.

[Tombio Posted Mar 12th 2009 4:10PM]

I sure hope that final product will have like hundred times more lumens than that feint ray of light on the picture.

[gr689 Posted Mar 12th 2009 4:24PM]

I have to say, projector phone not a bad idea but the projector has to actually be decent to where you can see the image clearly. This thing looks pitiful at 6" away, I couldn't image what it looks like at 2 feet.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 12th 2009 4:32PM]

THAT'S WHAT SH... wait.

[Mike Sylvester Posted Mar 12th 2009 6:40PM]

Yeah, it needs a bigger picture at a shorter throw (from 6" away, it's no bigger than the in-built screen) and a brighter output.

[pina Posted Mar 12th 2009 10:44PM]

I don't think that's a fair assumption -- it seems to be very bright where ever they are and the guy is projecting it on his hand, not on a white screen.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 12th 2009 5:17PM]

The future is here!!

Now I can watch a movie on my hand, hurrah!

So, pr0n projector in left hand, right hand is screen, which hand will I use to hold my knob?

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 12th 2009 5:26PM]

If both your hands is busy you have to put something in your mouth.

Preferably your phone.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 12th 2009 5:29PM]

Yes! Now, make a holographic one...

[Wwhat Posted Mar 12th 2009 6:25PM]

Clearly a racist product, you need white hands to project on.

[BuffaloX Posted Mar 12th 2009 6:43PM]

These look really cool. But I'm not sure how worthwhile they will be to your average user.

[Gregorian Posted Mar 12th 2009 7:00PM]

For sneakily projecting porno clips on walls to offend passers by... sure. Very useful.
Seriously, it looks like a good way to watch a movie.

More things shoved into the one gadget the better. More stuff in phones, please.

[Wwhat Posted Mar 12th 2009 7:58PM]

Hmm, wasn't there a 2 year prison term in the US for showing porn to minors? or was it 20, I'm not sure since most of those christianity-based laws don't sync with any logic I posses really.

(Not that I would approve of such porn-projecting shenanigans if I ran the show though.)

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 12th 2009 7:45PM]

I dont know whats the trip around pico device... its unwatchable...

[Wwhat Posted Mar 12th 2009 7:59PM]

Pretty colours, they project!

[cmalani Posted Mar 12th 2009 9:02PM]
