There is probably news around today but having just woke up I’m looking forward to going out in the garden and doing some of the jobs the wife as set aside for me. Putting up lights, putting up a garden fence and no doubt more will follow.

In the meantime, no doubt over the Easter holiday you’re going to settle down and watch a few movies. So here some fun on how your favorite movie should have ended.

I’m guessing there are not that many models that don’t have the ability to play MP3s shipping anymore. Movies are taken for granted as well with almost every phone model being able to support video playback. Watching movies however on a small screen is not for everyone. I find those seatback video screens on airplanes small enough as it is. Except when the person in front puts their seat right back and it presses up against your face for the next 8 long miserable hours. ah the joys of travelling economy.

Watching a movie on your phone is good answer to the problem, you can watch what you want, when you want, and are not restricted to the in-flight movie choice. The downside is you end up looking down at the screen on your lap so get a creaky neck after a while, and lets not forget trying to focus on the small screen after a few in-flight beers. The next big thing with smartphones looks like being projector technology with the phones of the (near) future having tiny projectors inside to allow you to project the screen on to a surface.

I’m not sure how that will go down with your fellow travellers in economy if you project your movie onto the back of their head, and I must admit that struggling for valid usecases on why I would want this, but came up with the following:

  • showing friends my pictures collection
  • showing a presentation
  • watching a movie with friends
  • having a video conference

This is no flash in pan technology, there are a whole bunch of phone manufactures producing phones that have projector technology built in. Samsung, Sharp, TI to name a few. Not only that but Samsung have a working prototype that is due to ship in 2009.

The Samsung MBP200 with built in projector is due to ship later this year.

How would you use a projector in your phone?
