3M MPro110
3M introduces Handheld Projector
This is a truly amazing product. I’m assuming there will be an interface which allows you to download your Powerpoint presentations to this tiny projector. You will not need a VGA cord, as it projects the images from the handheld (and possibly from a handheld phone some day). To get sound, there will probably be an audio jack which will have to be run to speakers. Simply Amazing!
Cost: $300
Release Date: late 2008

G1 - The Google/Android Phone from T-Mobile
Official Specifications of the phone
T-mobile Live Event Transcription - phone has been officially announced and will be ready for sale on 10/22/2008. The phone is dubbed the "G1."
Android is a new operation system (platform) developed by Google that can be adopted by all the cell phone manufacturers. T-mobile is the first. It joins Palm, Windows, iPhone and Symbian operating systems among many others. I hoping Verizon adds it next!
Here's an Gphone demo done by Sergie, a co-founder of Google.
Android features: Touch phone, Move web pages with fingers, Rich browser history (you see thumbnails of past web pages you’ve seen), 3 G speed, Panorama images/satellite on maps, and tons more stuff. I bet there will be everything that's on the current iPhone platform.
For a more detailed look at the G1, please go to our September Ezine
