A digital or camera phone is neat but sharing photos is still a pain in the butt. You have to pass the camera around or post it to on Flickr, F-book, TwitPic or wherever, so folks have to chase them down. I’ve been asking for a camera with a built-in projector for awhile.
AT&T will soon release the Windows 6.5 smartphone with an optional snap-on “pico projector“. It will be the first projector phone in North America. [Samsung released a projector phone in South Korea.] The release date was supposed to be today.
The LG eXpo will cost $199 after a $100 mail-in rebate and with a two-year contract.
The attachable LG Mobile Projector will ship in the next few weeks for $179.
The device will be able to project videos and other files stored on the phone onto walls, screens and other surfaces.
Ultimately, phone makers and tech companies such as TI want to integrate projectors directly into phones, as Samsung did with its W7900 projector phone. Physorg.
Tech savvy real estate agents will impress their clients when they project home listing photos or videos on the client’s refrigerator.
