I predict the iScreen
Posted by BJ Sintay under Gadgets, Tech-talk, Television
It’s tough to predict what Apple will do next in the ever-changing portable media market. From the iPod, to the iPhone, and even the iBook, Apple is constantly on the move when it comes to developing products that miniaturize and combine technology to meet consumer needs. So let me be among the first to predict the iScreen - the all new handheld media system with integrated phone, media player, and *cough* DLP video projector.
TI has developed a micro DLP array which is much smaller than your standard projector chip, while maintaining enough quality for smaller screen viewing. Want to watch a movie on your 2012 flight to Europe? Forget wearable OLEDs in your shirt. Project your favorite digital TV station from your iScreen on to the seat in front of you. Think portable digital TV is far off? Think again. That’s already in a new phone developed by Samsung. The phone includes both analog and digital receivers.
Now, somebody needs to get TiVo in on this and we’ll be all set.
