Imagine downloading a music video or movie onto your phone and displaying it on a wall. That's not far from reality. Expected to debut in 2008 on game consoles and PCs, it will revolutionize the way we view videos. Right now, the big thing is watching TV and movie online but by the looks of it, that will all be transferred over to the mobile phone.
The first mobile phone will be projector equiped by 2009 with due help from Motorola to develop PICO projectors that were first invented by Microvision. The projectors use light scanning technology to display a colourful image all from a beam of light. If you open your cell phone and project the image from 12 feet away, the picture on the wall will be up to 120 inches which is incredible. Soon the picture will be HD and you'll have a mobile TV in your pocket. A PicoP engine will control the whole thing, the size of a mint, to control the intensity of te thousands of colours generated by the scanner. All on one phone charge, you'll be able to play "I Know Pronounce You Chuck and Larry." The estimated cost of intergrating all this onto your phone will be $150 and accessory projectors will be a higher price of $200.
