Texas Instruments has created a DLP projector so small, it fits comfortably in the bottom of a cell phone. At a mere 1.3-inches, the Pico is nice and small yet can pump out a DVD-quality image in widescreen-TV sizes.

This is great, and I can't wait to see it implemented in new phones. Just imagine, businessmen will be able to store their PowerPoint presentations on their smartphones and will be able to project them anywhere. For us non-business type people, we can keep movies and videos on our phones and be ready to share them with our friends wherever there's a wall and a way to turn the lights down. No word on when this will be released or pricing, but it's sure to become commonplace eventually. — Adam Frucci
