Goodbye tiny mobile phone screens, hello PicoP
Wow! that’s all I can say. I just read an article on Softpedia about Microvision, who has developed “an ultra-thin, miniature full-color projection display that is small enough to be embedded in portable hand-held devices including mobile phones”, the Pico Projector or “PicoP” as they’ve named it, which they’re going to unveil and demonstrate at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas tomorrow.
This solves a real limitation for mobile phones, with so many applications and services freely available on the internet mobile phones are hard pressed to take full advantage of them.
(x)html and javascript support is already available on most of the todays newer phones, internet access on mobiles have been around for quite some time and is getting better and better and then there are phones that have full QWERTY keyboards and if not you can get add-on keyboards.
Although this will not negate the need for laptops for the more power users, but it will prove popular amongst the mobile office crowd.
