The ICD-5000 allows cell phone owners to display the content on their mobile screen to a computer, monitor, or projection screen. Much like devices that teachers and professors use to display a calculator screen to an entire class, the ICD-5000 physically clamps onto and hovers over a cell phone or PDA screen and connects to a PC via a USB cable. Users can then project that image to a projector or monitor. It can also be used to record demonstrations of cell phones for later viewing and sharing.</i>"<br /><br /><img src=http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/westfall-project-a-phone.JPG><br /><br />I suppose there are a bunch of uses for something like this (i.e. when you have multiple hand helds you want to show off), but for most of us, a program such as Soti's Pocket Controller and a laptop &amp; Projector are just fine. And eeriely, easier to find than somewhere to setup this contraption. (It amazes me how many conference rooms and classrooms I go into that have projectors and computers nowadays!)
