mobile projectors

Olly was on the train a while ago speaking to someone from Oxford University who was working on putting mini projectors into mobile phones. Which I thought is very cool; you can project whole websites or watch movies on a mini-big screen. Basically it does away with the limitation of handset screen size, which is in turn constrained by pocket / handbag / convenience size.

Mind you I traveled from New York to London yesterday and flew BA instead of Air India (it was air miles, that’s why!). Before I went to bed I watched two films. 1: “hitched” or something which is ok actually for a chick flick, and 2: “Iron man” which is perhaps a wait for the DVD. Anyway I digress. The point is that watching these two films, although means that I am falling asleep at my desk right now, was a pleasurable and easy experience. This despite the fact that BA screens (which are smaller than Air India by the way) were only really a little larger than an iPhone screen.

So my two recommendations are:

1. Travel Air India between London and NY. You save quite alot on the ticket price and your Bollywood movie selection is massive!
2. Don’t start changing what you are doing because of the projector mobile for another 6 months minimum…
