There is so much hype about Microvision in this space but it looks like finally the big boys are entering the fray but on LCOS.

Microvision is going down the tubes.

This is an LCD imager for projector technology, not an LCD screen for a watch or PMP!

So you will see it in chinese mobile phones with cute 1 LED based crappy projectors :)

I've been abusing myself so hard and for so long, I struggle to see my 42" TV - let alone a 'film on a watch' :~(

Dunno 'bout you, mate, but most people would get eye damage watching a movie on a screen that small.

Just as one example. Been around for a long time.

Ben, the technology exists for that to be possible. Just because a watch which has been designed to watch movies doesn't exist yet, doesn't mean that it can't be done.

The only thing I'm surprised about is the fact that as far as I'm aware, it hasn't been done yet.

No, JD, watches don't have the memory to fit a movie.

We might start seeing better watch phones, or even watch sized PMPs.....people will have to start asking "watching time, or your fave movie?"
