Battery Life w/Projector on: 30 seconds.
Joking aside, this thing would be very handy in business.

Or, they can do them all adequately. Considering they are all right there in your hand, which is the whole point. Convenience and accessability are what these pocket sized computers are all about. Want a top of the line gaming system, spend $2000+ for a massive desktop system. Want a camera that takes pictures as good as those you see in magazines, spend $2000+ for a digital SLR. Want a projector that can blaze an HD image onto a wall in bright sunlight, spend $2000+ for a briefcase sized projector.
What all of those things have in common is that they are expensive and will not fit into your pocket.

And yet, they don’t all suck. I have a cannon all in one and it works great for scanning in pictures and printing documents or pictures. Does it print out professional quality photo prints? No, but then again if you expect an all in one printer that costs less than $250 to equal those $1000+ printers they have at the photo proccessing places then you are expecting WAY too much.

PICO projectors. Hot stuff. Saw one of these in a phone like… 5 years ago? Yes, I’m all for my phone being able to throw a 20-30″ HD picture in a lit room.

this phone already released here in Singapore last year(early 2011 or end of 2010). The Samsung marketing strategy is really very “creative”

Nobody has fomented on the (only) 15 lumens? And they say you can use it outdoors. Yeah, at NIGHT. With NO MOON!

A lot like those all in one printers out there. Instead of sucking hard at just one thing, it sucks at all 3

I’ve never wanted a projector on my phone, or with me at any time while on the go.

I’m confused, DL. This is not the first phone with a projector built in (or available via a small attachment). Remember back in 2009 when LG released a projector phone on AT&T? Apparently you don’t. I even remember television commercials with a projector phone in them. In fact, TI has a whole web page devoted to cell phone projector phones!

Not to mention that, but pocket projectors are readily available and have HDMI interfaces. So really any phone could quickly turn into a projector phone.

So why the hype, DL? Why the hype?

I would think that having a video call that consists of staring at somebody’s chin/nostrils would take off really well.

Cory was wrong, and I really wanted an HTC Screenparty:

This phone has already failed twice before. Once while having the exact same Galaxy Beam name for the phone. I guess they’ll never learn

Nice looking phone. Love the yellow accents. Yea, I’d buy it…
