Samsung has the MBP200 Pico Projector for mobile phones on display at CES. The pocket-sized device measures 107.3×48.8×19 mm and weighs only 160g! This is made possible using Instruments’ DLP pico chip, which we hope will be picked up by other manufacturers as well.
Specs wise, the Samsung MBP200 can project an image of up to 50-inches, and also features a 2.2-inch QVGA (240×320 pixels) screen for private viewing, and a microSD card slot so you can playback video files directly from a memory card, without connecting the MBP200 to a mobile phone or any other source (i.e. camera or camcorder). In addition, there’s a standard 3.5mm audio port for connecting headphones or external speakers.
Boy do I want it! Samsung, however, hasn’t released pricing information nor exact release date. All we know is that it’s coming “later this year,” whatever that means…

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.
