"3M has been touting its mini-projectors for some time now (along with many others), but it looks like they're now finally a bit closer to landing in an actual product, with Samsung reportedly set to begin offering them later this year. What's not clear, unfortunately, is whether the projectors will actually be built into the cellphones (and if so, which ones), or simply offered as an attachment of some sort, but either way you can apparently expect to pay between $200 and $400 for the chance to spread a bit of visual pollution."

Now this is gonna be cool once it becomes mainstream (like cameras in phones). No longer will we have to point at a tiny cell phone screen when we want to show our friends a photo or video we've just taken on on our phone, now we can project on the nearest white surface :)

  • Oh now that is incredible. I love how the mini-projectors look and I really love the idea of projecting pictures or videos onto a wall to share them with others. Great story neokn!

  • Awesome! But I'm holding out to see where Apple goes with this. Gotta stick with the best in the biz! Sony will probably get inspired by this too and crank out some crazy gadget.

  • wow, I want one. Mac should stick these on their laptops somewhere so I could project movies onto my wall, screw expensive-ass flat screen TVs.

    ps- mac, if you do that you owe me a billion dollars.

  • I think I will get more use out of the new mini cell printers that polaroid is coming out with later this year.

  • Clearly this is a good idea....i mean, those guys who like to use laser pointers at concerts aren't nearly annoying enough now....
