Digismart Miniature Projection Technology

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

I came across this cool technology while reading my usual tech-related news online. A company called Digislide has patented a technology that will allow your cell phone to project an 11 in x 17 in view of what is on your cell phone on to a wall. I think this is pretty neat because it […]
