Cool toys
It’s nice when technology still has the power to impress. Especially simple stuff. Today we tried plugging the N95 into our projector, and lo, superb resolution huge projection of our apps running on it. Superb for demos. Also ran some photos through it - excellent resolution.
This form of technology is really getting places. Especially the possibility of using it in conjunction with the bluetooth keyboard I’ve just bought. Not quite got my relatively large hands onto the relatively small keys. The overall package isn’t quite as small as I might have liked, but the concept is great. It’s particularly good for typing in complex information, be it URLs or people’s names in the address book. The integration into the platform is excellent.
I’m hoping to write a post sometime soon using that very combination.

What I’d love is to have a projector keyboard and projector display built into the phone, so I can just set it down on a flat surface and do some coding!

It would seem to be the most logical way of making a large user interface in a small box! Back to the usual problems of heat dissipation and power consumption. I’d assume that someone is working on cool-running projectors, perhaps using LED technology.
On the other hand, perhaps the future of display is a roll/fold one such those from Plastic Logic.
