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