Logic Wireless 150LGW projector phone reminds us of that Bolt we once saw
Remember the Bolt from CES 2009? Man, that was ages ago. If you'll recall, projector phones were actually all the rage for around 4.67 minutes at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, and ever since we've been dealt months of nothing alongside one lone ranger of something in the LG eXpo. Evidently Logic Wireless is hoping that we'll forget all about the Bolt that never shipped and instead focus on the next best thing: the 150LGW. Available for order now at Skymall (of all places), the projector phone looks significantly slimmer and more stylish than the company's first crack, and aside from the inbuilt PJ, there's also twin SIM card slots, dual cameras, an Office file viewer, quad-band GSM radio, Bluetooth and Symbian running the show. We aren't too sure we'd be willing to shell out $499 without any proof that this thing is worth its salt, but you can bet we'll be on the hunt for it once CES 2010 opens up next week.
Logic Wireless Logic Bolt hands-on
Not much new to report on Logic Wireless' device apart from us finally getting a chance to see it and see how it all works. It is a large handset -- but we wonder how they could make the thing smaller without making the projector element modular, or something -- well put together, with a huge speaker on the back but is otherwise an unremarkable candybar. We projected the OS' menu and a short video on a small whiteboard setup at the booth and even with pretty tough lighting conditions, it worked. Of course, what remains to be seen is real shipping product, a carrier deal to sweeten the pricing, and perhaps a battery life tweak. Good first effort folks, we'll definitely be keeping an eye on this device.%Gallery-41192%
Logic Wireless' Logic Bolt makes luminous appearance at CES
Logic Wireless, a new startup has jumped right into the CES mobile fray with this, the mini projecting Logic Bolt. Logic Wireless assumed all rights to this device from ChinaKing -- which we saw early in the summer of 2008 -- and have tuned it up and have it here at the show. Featuring a quad-band GSM chipset, 3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, projected display size of 36 to 64 inches, and a rated talk time of 2 to 3 hours. Video can apparently blast on for two hours or more using content on the phone or VGA input from other devices. Logic Wireless aims to ship a dual-mode GSM / CDMA set with live video conferencing, four times brighter projector, and Windows Mobile supplanting the current Java OS sometime in the future. For a suggested $100 on-contract price or $600 off, we're thinking if they can make this happen, we're definitely going to be picking one up.[Via Gearlog]
