If you want a quick sketch just project onto paper and draw round it. It has a market with artisits and artists who are perspectively challenged. Just needs marketing !

decent projectors run HOT. The only way i can see that they will put projectors in or with laptops is by building them into the power brick. Actually, I’m just off to patent that idea…

For some reason, Princess Leia’s first appearance, courtesy of R2D2’s inbuilt projector came to mind. OK, she was in “3D”, but old R2 certainly wouldn’t fit in your pocket. Unless you had rather large pockets. Anyway, you get my drift…

Alex, yes that idea did cross my mind! A lot of trouble to go to though if you just want to watch a movie on the spur of the moment, plus the camera’s inbuilt speaker is (unsurprisingly) very weak.

Well there is an intention to put pico projectors in mobile phones. Now that they have become full multimedia wizards, I think that’s the real place pico projection will take off.

Because, everybody has a mobile phone and it’s getting increasingly harder to not buy a relatively smart one.

Could you not convert your movie into the same format that the camera records in and then copy the file into the appropriate directory on the memory card…

“Disappointingly, it doesn’t have a video input so you can’t feed, say, a standalone camcorder or netbook into it. ”

Pity that. Would liked to have the ability to feed directly through it from either a laptop or netbook. Also would be better if the image was bigger at least 30-40 inches. Can see that it could be an excellent tool for most mobile users.
