Got a big white wall in your living room, but can't afford a swanky projector to show movies on it? Don't worry: Texas Instruments is working on a solution. It's been showing off a prototype mobile phone with a miniature projector built in.
The idea is you can watch your mobile videos by projecting them onto a white surface - although you can imagine the technology being used for gaming too. On the one hand, it gets around the problem of small mobile screens, but on the other, we'd probably still rather have a TV-out port, as seen on some Nokia handsets. We also wonder what projecting video does to your handset's battery life.
Still, TI is working on the technology with the aim of including it in phones in the near(ish) future. Rest assured, we'll keep you updated.
