>Use projections with mobile devices. Inevitable: A video projector fro every cellphone, pda or notebook! Great!
Two interesting new cell phone technologies: „This past week saw the announcements of a couple of innovative technologies that could aid the mobile phone in becoming miniature work terminals. The first is a patent filing by Samsung that describes a Virtual Display that reads input made with an electronic pen to provide a full-fledged data terminal. The mobile phone will read the inked input on the virtual screen projected onto a flat surface and turn it into digital text for the application. It has immediate application for email and IM applications. Ink on your mobile phone is a real possibility with this technology, of course it will be quite some time (if ever) before this patent application becomes a real product. The second technology was revealed in an announcement by ILJIN Display and is the development of an ultra small LCD panel for projecting images from a mobile device to a wall or screen.
