The Ultimate iPhone Killer



This is unfortunately a concept idea by Mozilla, but if these guys put it into production Im sure alot of the typical "iPhone" users and up to date geeks would admirer this piece of technology. Called the Seabird it is designed to house two small projectors, either used to project out keypads weither side or used to project your phone screen on a surface and the other used as a keypad. The idea is awesome and it gets better, it is designed also to have a Bluetooth headset built into the back! For the rest of the information go herehttp://mozillalabs.com/conceptseries...09/23/seabird/

Thought I'd share because I so want them to make this.

I don't think I'd ever use that feature. When I make or receive calls on my cell, I'm generally out and about. I'd seldom have a flat surface to display it on.

the speech to text feature is much more useful than a virtual keyboard would ever be on a cell phone, I think.

Seems like I saw some news last year about the development of a new device - phone, projector, internet link all together in one thing. You project the keyboard or screen on any flat surface, similar to the OP.

The device also had a bar code reader which could scan items at the store, look them up on the web and display information about them - nutritional content, prices at other stores, etc.

Or did I dream that?
