Projector Phones By The End Of 2008?

Mobile phone projectors, or Pico projectors as they’re called, are looming to be the next big thing. With the obsession with miniaturizing everything possible, people are currently doing their best to cram the projector into the humble phone. If everything goes smoothly, we’ll all soon be able to project out very own Batman logo’s directly from our phones (onto the wall of course!).

John Van Scoter, the senior vice president of Texas Instruments (TI) has confirmed that mobile phones will hit the market with pico projectors in tow later this year. If everything goes according to plan, TI expects to see the prevalence of projectors in mobile phones start to rival that of cameras in mobile phones. TI recently unveiled its DLP Pico technology to bring the vivid colors and sharp pictures of DLP displays into the world of mobile devices.

Hopefully mobile phones equipped with portable projectors will become a reality sooner rather than later.
