A Projector for CellPhones

Forget that tiny screen. The PicoP turns your phone into a projector

(Business 2.0 Magazine) -- Many phones can play just about any video you want as long as you're willing to watch it on a 3-inch LCD. But a supplier of wearable displays for the U.S. Army wants to change that.

In July, Redmond-based Microvision (Charts) inked a deal with Motorola (Charts, Fortune 500) to develop a built-in projector for mobile devices. The result: the PicoP, a gadget about the size of a Thin Mint that can project a high-resolution, television-screen-size image on any surface - lat or curved - from your phone.

The plug-in version, for smartphones, will arrive at the end of this year. Phones with embedded PicoPs should be available by 2009.

"Teens will be able to project movies and pictures," says Microvision CEO Alexander Tokman. "Business users can give the ultimate elevator-pitch presentation with their phone."

25 million phones now have the technology to support a projector. By the end of 2008, that number will double to 50 million.

Google Phone ?

Google Phone ?

Evidence for the existence of the Google phone keeps piling up—it's pretty much confirmed though not officially official, between a fairly solid Boston Globe piece and Om Malik's five facts "from a reliable source." The down and dirty:

It's Linux-based, runs Java apps (the entire UI is in Java, as well as possibly the browser), plays multimedia files, and the OS is running on "3-to-5 devices, most of them likely made by HTC." Slightly disappointing is that the UI is "typical of mobiles phones," meaning it's not groundbreaking. But, the browser might be based on the same engine that's in Safari the iPhone (WebKit), and Google's supposedly been tweaking it to make it speedier, which sounds kind of hot.

What do you guys want in a Google Phone?

Hyundai W-100 Wrist Phone

Now, You can phone in style


Remember the movie Dick Tracy ? That movie somehow inspired someone into makin a phone in shape of watch. This Hyundai W-100 Wrist Phone is not the first cellphone in the form factor of a watch, and it's probably not going to be the last, either. Hyundai is apparently marketing this watch we showed you in the form of prototype last summer from Chinese company CECT. That's a lot of tech to pack into a small space, and this is the best looking watch phone we've seen yet, too.


It's equipped with Bluetooth so you can walk around and look like you're talking to yourself, and then you can be sneaky and take some pictures with its 1.3-megapixel onboard camera. It even has an MP3 player, and if your eyes are sharp enough, it plays videos, too.



No pricing info was forthcoming yet, and this thing also equipped with A2DP bluetooth headset.

Phone with e-ink based keys

CEATEC Japan 2007 uncovered this really neat phone prototype that featured an electronic-ink based alphanumeric keys which is capable of changing the display on the key when appropriate. Sounds like the standard keypad will evolve into this sometime down the road. Hopefully there will be some sort of tactile feedback so that you know what you're pressing. One thing's for sure though - this will definitely be more power efficient than dual screen touchscreen-enabled smartphones that are flooding the market these days.

cool eh. the keypad will changed according to the usage. can wait to have this thing implemented in our phone.

My Old 7110 Phones

Nokia 7110 GSM phone

Built by Nokia after the 'Matrix' film.

After the success of the Matrix movie, Nokia designed the 7110 using an automatic opening slide, bigger screen, better features and a chameleon green/purple pearlescent paint finish. So this model, although not actually used in the movie, was Nokia's version of what the Matrix phone should have been.

Even today it is still mighty cool.Just press the tiny silver button on the back of the phone and the spring loaded cover flips down immediately to answer calls and to impress the youngster.

It also fits the Nokia in-car kits which use the Nokia 6210, 6310 and 6310i. These kits were fitted as aftermarket options in Jaguars and other cars. To check if it will fit your Nokia in-car kit, it is the one with the round aerial plug at the top of the cradle which plugs directly into a socket on the phone just above the battery.
