Accessory Projector = NOT too big.

The vast majority of the people who read this are in the US. I live in the US. One of the things I hear about having a projector *attached* to a cellphone is that it would be "too big."

Lately as I do my digging around MicroVision I have been seeing a lot of reference to accessory lenses for mobile phones.

So, what's too big? If people are willing to carry these things around to take pictures... they'll be willing to carry that and more around to SHOW them. (We like to look at pictures a lot more than we like to take them.)

It might fit expectations in the US. But there will be nothing "too big" about PicoP in other markets.

Google Search Cellphone accessory Lenses ($80+)

iPhone Keyboard Case

Included because it's a great example of extending a phone with an accessory.

I think something similar will be done with PicoP soon.

Pokeyboards

I understand Blackberry has taken issue with this case.

Maybe Just Smoke, Maybe Fire.

Here's the Article

One of Apple’s biggest issues in building iPhones or iPads with different display sizes and form factors has mainly been its policy on fixed display resolution and aspect ratio for iOS. We all remember when the iPhone 5 was launched, and how we had to deal with black bars on the display while apps were updated to comply with the new standards. The same happened with the launch of the iPhone 4, where pixel resolution doubled and apps had to be updated. It seems that Apple is already working on fixing this, and new hints point to fixes soon.

Xcode 6 was just seeded to developers, and among the things that were updated, we see that Apple is taking the future of iOS’ display options seriously. We see options for a resizable iPhone and resizable iPad on display settings, which could hint to a ton of things. While we wish that this means that apps and games may be able to scale automatically, it could just be that Apple is giving these options a temporary name in order to prepare developers for the iPhone 6 and iPad Pro.

It could also be that Apple is preparing to actually make those rumors of split-screen multitasking happen, but time will tell as iOS 8 is still a work in progress.

--- What I don't get is I could see having two different sizes for the new phone, but there could be some different reasons for having "resizable" listed.

Yes, this would be possible with PicoP.

Do I think this is a leak of the real thing? No.

Could we get something like this very soon? Absolutely yes.

What is MirrorLink?

Connect and ride.

Smartphones have given consumers access to a growing number of indispensable applications anytime and anywhere. But when it comes to driving, smartphone use is ill-advised. And even the most advanced infotainment systems cannot match the breadth of functionality in even the most ordinary smartphones.

MirrorLink™ (previously known as Terminal Mode) solves this problem by offering seamless connectivity between a smartphone and the car infotainment system. Drivers just connect the phone with a cable and immediately gain access to phone applications via the car’s navigation screen and dashboard/steering-wheel buttons.

In other words, by allowing consumers to access their smartphone in the same way they access their car radio and other controls, MirrorLink lets drivers keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.

MirrorLink is based on a set of well established, non-proprietary technologies. It uses standard Internet technologies (such as Internet Protocol) for compatibility with a wide range of devices. It also uses technologies already common in the car, such as Bluetooth™ and USB, and newly-introduced car technologies such as Wi-Fi as well.  Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) facilitates controlled access to applications. Virtual Network Computing (VNC™) replicates the phone's display on the navigation screen and communicates user prompts back to the phone. In addition to Bluetooth™, MirrorLink™ streams audio with Real-Time Protocol (RTP).

The CCC offers standardized MirrorLink™ certification so that only approved applications are accessible while driving.
