"iPhone clone" with inbuilt projector comes to life E-mail

The phone is a breakthrough, with the article boasting that while people may have only thought that combining a phone and a projector were only at the conceptual stage, the phone seems set for “world’s first mass production”.

Perhaps this phone will be the surprise iPhone-clone Telstra has in store for us Aussies instead of the real iPhone 3G deal? Haha.

I couldn’t see it in the translation, but Engadget managed to find out that the phone can project a 30-inch, 640x480 image for two hours at a time.

That’s just enough for most movies, and the battery life is likely longer if you’re not using it to project things.

The light source for the projector phone is an LED light, and it uses a manual focus ring to get a sharp image.

So, there you go – the world’s first projector phone, not from Silicon Valley, but Sino Valley instead!

If it came with a long transparent tube attachment and you projected a Star Wars movie into it - have you just made yourself a lightsaber of sorts? Oh, that's really bad. So bad, it's almost good! haha :-)

I wonder when we’ll see one in a future iPhone, with Steve Jobs claiming to have “revolutionised the projector phone” and "put multi-touch technology on the wall!". Maybe in 2010?

Still, can't wait to see what version 2, or 3 look like. The technology can only get smaller and better as time goes by. It just might make it into a future iPhone after all!
