Those boys over at iFixit have done it again – this time they’ve taken apart the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj (catch name, eh!) camera! Now, you might be wondering why this is so exciting – well two (linked) reasons:
- The camera has a project onboard – yes indeed!
- These projector modules are coming to mass-market mobile near you relatively soon!
So it’s interesting to see right now how they’ve fitted in the projector module to a device with a slightly larger form-factor. Bear in mind the camera doesn’t try to be a phone, it just does a couple of things (like take pictures, and beam ‘em) really well – so there’s a little space in that housing to fit the projector module. But it won’t be long before they are commonly featuring (and yes, I know these modules have already been on a couple of mobile devices to-date, but they weren’t mass-market).
Anyway, check out the full teardown here at iFixit.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
