CrunchGear’s Peter Ha got his lucky hands on the latest Texas Instruments Pico projector and from what he can tell they made quite a few improvements, at least in terms of size. As a matter of fact, they managed to cram the LED lit projector into a BlackBerry Curve! Before you go too crazy, you should know it’s not the full Curve we’re talking about here — they needed to put some things out in order to make enough space for their components. Still, it seems like a step forward.
Earlier phones with projectors were up to three times the size of the Curve, giving us hope we may actually see a decently sized mobile phone with a built-in projector sooner rather than later. After all the technology is there, and I guess we’re now waiting for further shrinking and better batteries.
The short video shows the Curve in action. Enjoy!

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
