Default Project-A-Phone

"This thing�erm�projects your phone. There�s a little USB camera attached to a clamp and you just tap away like a madman, sending the video out to a laptop or overhead projector. I suppose this would be good for training on the handheld, etc. but it looks a wee bit kludgy."



Wow 8O I can't tell you the last time I needed something that looked suspiciously like a document camera / projector in miniature. Literally can't tell you since I don't think I've ever needed it. But I guess if you're doing training on a new device (That can't have it's screen projected any other way) or want to show off cool hardware buttons (That you don't have a picture of) this $199 device could be just what you're looking for.

oh golly.

I suppose *someone* wanted to demonstrate the phone screen without the need for a cheap software option.

:huh: I can't think of any reason I would want to project my PDA/Phone screen on something like this.

I would have to second Darius's comment...

"And on the left of the screen you'll notice my thumb with the large growth on it, anyone think I should be worried about that?"

Free medical advice while presenting is as good a reason as any you'll find for this thing, I suppose.
