@vlad: not that sick man:
Built in Projector for phones have already been presented monthes ago...
Just a bit early, that's all.

I completely disagree with the author when it says that it will be slightly cheaper than the iphone...How would it be possible, as the HTC Touch Diamond, which is clearly less good than the HTC Touch HD, is more expensive than the iphone!!!
There are a few features missing from this phone which the Chinese are going to jump on with their copies.

Two Sims for a start.

Built in Projector would also be nice - it gets around the problem of connectors on TV's and the like!

if anyone has thought of using Nvidia's Tegra chip in a phone. Their demo unit was thicker than an iPhone, but it has a boatload of connectors. The really nice thing is you can play a movie back @ 720p out HDMI to a TV.

Oh the possibilities. Still I'm no expert in this area AT ALL. Their chip might consume too much power or the design base not allow for phone stuff, et al. Still the above idea would be a winner for me in a phone. Take your movies with you (the Nvidia display models can go above 64GB easy, if you pony up) and plug into a TV at the hotel! Might need different breakouts, but the last 6 hotel rooms I was in had HDTV's with DVD players and cabling exposed (and unsecured) enough to let you jack in your own device :)

Oh the possibilities... Anyone want to build something like this: Phone, Contacts, IM, Games (on the unit or output), Movies (on the unit or output), Music (on the unit or output), and heck toss Bluetooth in and an IR control while your at it.

I'm wishing for too much, but lets say Earth: Final Conflict thin design for the screen (OLED might work, if it's flexible, but I heard of them being printed on paper at one point, by Epson). I believe the show called them "Globals."

Heh, I know, waayyy over the top. We can dream though, right?
Calling any phone an 'iPhone copy' is truly pathetic.

I wish reputable news sites wouldn't be so ignorant.

This is sick, man.
