Default LG Monaco Sports WM7 And Pico Projector

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/...-qwerty-slider/

"This brassy little number is the LG "Monaco," which is apparently also known as the "Pico" to some folks; what it'll eventually be called at retail is anyone's guess, but the big news is the feature list: 3.6Mbps HSDPA, a 3.2-inch WVGA display, 5 megapixel AF cam, microSD expansion, an add-on pico projector of some sort, and Windows Mobile 7."

Although destined for AT&T, you might have to wait a while for the Monaco to turn up - unless they slap WM6.5 on this. Engadget also mentions that the Monaco doesn't fulfill WM7 hardware criteria due to the slightly smaller screen, so I wonder if we really will see this running WM7. I admit to being a little unexcited by the known specs or the design, though I imagine both will be subject to change. If this had been released a year ago it might have been top dog, but now (sans projector) it looks strictly middle of the road.

If this does not have a built in pico projector, what is the specialty of this? Any device with TV-OUT feature can connect to a pico projector. It is entirely different matter and very positive if it comes builtin with it.

I was truly amazed to discover that a tiny little windows mobile device like this could also be a projector. This is incredible for business professionals and I can't wait to go check this out!

After seeing what those tiny pocket size projectors can and can't do, I'd go for TV/VGA-Out any day.

It will be interesting to see what type of projector this device adds. As for business uses, I'm going to say we're still a few years off. I own an AAXA P1 pico projector, and while I love it as a TV show / movie player and to use with my Iphone it's really not well suited for business presentations... The AAXA is on the brighter side (12 lumens) - I looked at the Optoma and 3M which were both rated at 10, and honestly it's not usable in a business environment unless you can turn off all the lights and only presenting to less than 5 people... And oh yeah, it's small but not THAT small... I have difficulty believing an "add on" device will be either brighter or smaller than the P1 (take a look at the pic)

I'll post a review of it if you guys care...
