I am a little proud to say, I suggested this in 2005:
"There has to be at least one unique feature. I suggest some sort of projection display that allows you to project (for maybe 5 seconds at a time) what is on your screen to any reasonably flat surface like a wall. This would allow you to show your buddy or boss a document or a picture. An inexpensive LED bulb or two plus the ability to project 640×480 if that, is all that is needed."

- nitrogen 14y agoMost things are independently conceived many many times before finally having an implementation that sticks. TI has been working on the DLP picoprojector tech that's in this phone for a while, and as I mentioned elsewhere, The Island (2005) included a scene with a projector phone (I believe Microsoft consulted for that movie).
- patrickgzill 14y agoToo late to edit my post - but I would like to say I do not claim credit for it, it would be silly of me to do so. Now I have to go rent The Island :-)
- nitrogen 14y agoIf you aren't familiar with The Island, don't read the synopsis or back cover. I think that movie was much more entertaining going into it without any expectations.
