    Getting Closer to a Virtual Screen?

    I've always said that my true desire is a virtual screen - this has to be the limiting factor on mobile devices. We can file our fingertips to use the small keyboards , but using the internet on a mobile device is still not nearly ideal.

    I envision the day when we can roll up some sort of large thin keyboard that would then openup and display a virtual screen. Much like the virtual bluetooth keyboard but vice-versa.

    This 3M Mini Projector from Samsung might bring this idea closer to reality. Smartphonethoughts has an article on it.

    Now if those guys can team up with Stefano Casanova who has designed this concept phone running Windows Mobile with a swivel display and an embedded projector...

    His main aim to cut down the eye strain from looking at a tiny screen.

    Biomehanika- that's so cool - looks like my concept isn't that far off.

    Isn't it just !

    I saw the images a few days ago and thought about how many great concepts go unrealised, but on reading this thread, Stefano's dream took a very large step towards taking form.

    This plus a virtual keyboard would make a funky experiance.

    Yes - I have the bluetooth virtual keyboard - I don't use it much but it is very cool and impressive ! Works amazingly well and somehow feels like a real keyboard.
