Mobile Phone Projectors "Will Launch This Year"
An anonymous reader writes "Mobile phones with built-in mini projectors will launch later this year, according to 3M, which gave PC Pro a hands-on demonstration of the technology at CES 2008. The projector has a brightness of around 8-10 lumens, and is capable of displaying an image of up to 50 in., although 3M's spokesperson Greg Roberts told us that, with perfect lighting conditions, it's possible to squeeze a 60-in. screen out of the projector."
And you thought laser pointers were annoying when they came out.
Seriously though, it is pretty cool.
That being said, I bought a cigarette lighter this week, and when I got home I discovered it had a laser pointer built into it, all for two bucks.
Soon my microwave will be able to use it's laser pointer to point at the projection it puts on my wall that my popcorn is done, as opposed to beeping, which would be oh so gauche.

This is only going to lead to millions of college students slipping a 50" cock into the professor's lecture while he isn't looking.

Are you sure you're not just happy to see me?
I think the "optimal conditions" mentioned would be a quantum photon trap in perfect vacuum.

Why a cellphone? so that everyone can see who's calling me?
Wait, you mean, you mainly use your cellphone to give/receive phone calls? lol! 1998 just called, they want you back.
You just got troll'd!
Aw, you're just pulling my leg. No, my other leg.
The gauntlet has been thrown - the challenge accepted. I WILL get 12 Rolexes on the said appendage. Stay tuned - This may take some time as i have to synchronize watches...
I'd love one of these, if only so I could send captured plans to allies in the memory systems of one of these cell-phone units, along with an appropriate video message. You know, along the lines of:
"General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person..." etc.
THAN you cretinous yank.
Yeah, and of course most cell phones already have vibrators. What we are all anxiously awaiting is one with an artificial vagina as well.
Your language usage is weird. The word you are looking for is "bright", not "a respectable amount of lumens". Similarly, it's "hot", not "a respectable amount of celcius". And Sahara is "big", not "a respectable amount of square kilometers". Finally, Bush is "dumb", not "having an embarassing amount of IQs".
Now people will be watching movies with their cell phones while driving.
The more you regulate a company, the worse its products become.
Come on, this persistent adding of more and more features to the cellphones has got to stop! And you want to make it even worse by adding phone calls?
