Unnamed Samsung Phone May Cause You To Ditch Mobile Projectors
January 7th, 2010 by Jeffrey L. Wilson
Pico projectors came into their own in 2009, but 2010 looks to see the technology penetrate all manner of devices. At CES Unveiled, a showcase featuring dozens of vendors showcasing their latest wares, we had the opportunity to see new pico projectors powered by Texas Instrument’s DLP technology, as well as new, experimental prototypes and devices.
The most intriguing was an unnamed Samsung phone that featured a pico projector (the follow up the the Asia-only W7900) embedded into its top. Despite have a projector built right into it, the cell was remarkably lightweight and felt good in hand. We beamed a video from the phone to the table, wall, and floor, and enjoyed a surprisingly detailed image with rich colors. It’s powered by Texas Instrument’s new DLP Pico chipset that delivers a sharp, DVD-quality 854 x 480-pixel resolution.
A release date hasn’t been decided, but we’re hoping to see this Sasmung phone appear on American shores as it could eliminate the need to lug full size projectors.

If you’ve seen one pico projector you’ve seen them all, right?
