For several years people have been talking about the idea of miniaturizing a projector so that it&#39;s small enough to fit inside a cell phone or digital camera. Now it&#39;s finally been done, and 3M is demonstrating a prototype of such a device at this year&#39;s International Consumer Electronics Show.The mobile projector is about a centimeter thick and about 4 centimeters tall by 3 centimeters wide -- small enough to fit inside portable devices like cell phones, PDAs, or a digital still camera, said Todd Rutherford, product development specialist with 3M&#39;s optical systems division.It uses an LED as the light source and can project a VGA resolution (640 pixels by 480 pixels) image through a lens that&#39;s about a centimeter in diameter.3M is demonstrating the projector at CES built into a small handheld device that runs video from flash memory. The image projected onto walls or other light surfaces was good enough and easy enough to see over a distance of about half a meter, although it suffered over greater distances due to the bright lights of the show floor.The demo attracted a lot of attention and a constant stream of show attendees, many of whom had badges identifying them as employees of mobile phone makers or network operators.3M is already working with companies interested in embedding the projector in devices, and the first products should be out in early 2008, said Rutherford. He wouldn&#39;t identify the companies or the applications but said that they are mobile consumer electronics products.

(InfoWorld) - Global mobile phone makers including Taiwan'sÂ High Tech ComputerÂ are already testing new processors from Qualcomm with which the chip manufacturer hopes toÂ challenge IntelÂ in the market for ultramobile PCs and mobile devices. Qualcomm has already started sending out SnapDragon chip packages to developers so they can see what kinds of devices might be made around them. The ultra-low power consumption of theÂ Scorpion processorÂ they contain could enable a whole new breed of mobile device, said Paul Jacobs, CEO of Qualcomm, on the sidelines of a news conference in Taipei. The microprocessor currently being sampled is a 1GHz chip that uses between 250 milliwatts and 500 milliwatts of power, he said. Intel's best processor for ultramobile PCs is A110, which runs at 800MHz and uses 3 watts of power. The SnapDragon chip set also contains a 600MHz digital signal processor, and offers connectivity to mobile broadband technologies including CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access 2000), 1xEVDO (Evolution-Data Only), HSDPA/HSUPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access/High Speed Uplink Packet Access), as well as mobile TV, Bluetooth, GPS (Global Positioning System), and WLAN (wireless-LAN). The company is gunning for Intel's business with the new chips, but it's tough to compare processors made by the two companies. Scorpion is an Arm-based processor and has its own instruction set, which offers substantial energy savings but does not share the main advantage of x86 chips made by Intel: software. A lot more software has been developed around the x86 instruction set than any other processor, in fact, the entire library of software for PCs. Alongside Intel's 800MHz A110, the company offers the 600MHz A100, which also consumes 3 watts. Rival Via Technologies recently announced an x86-based processor that runs at 500MHz and consumes up to a maximum of 1 watt, or 0.1 watts in idle mode. The 1GHz version of that chip,Â the Eden ULV, consumes a maximum of 3.5 watts. Still, device makers have a chance to try out SnapDragon now, and its low power consumption and wireless functions could aid in the development of new categories of mobile devices. Â

(InfoWorld) - Three of the world's largest manufacturers of mobile phones will not participate at next year's Cebit trade show, following a review of their marketing activities. BenQ, Motorola, and NokiaÂ will not have their own booth at the Hanover IT trade show in 2007, and rumors abound that other vendors, particularly in the consumer electronics segment, might also skip the annual event. "We won't have our own stand at Cebit but will show our products at the stands of our carrier customers who plan to attend the show," a Motorola spokeswoman said Tuesday. The spokeswoman declined to comment on reasons for the Cebit pullout, saying only the company has made changes to its trade fair marketing strategy in Europe. On Monday, BenQ and its cellular arm, BenQ Mobile, announced its decision not to exhibit at Cebit. The Taiwanese manufacturing group is currently considering a joint appearance at the annual IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin in line with its greater focus on consumer electronics products, it said in a statement. BenQ Mobile, which has taken over the mobile phone manufacturing operations of Siemens, also plans to extend its engagement at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, the manufacturer said. Last month, Nokia, the world's largest handset maker, disclosed its decision to withdraw from Cebit. "We want to focus more on our own house events, such as the Open Studio event, which we held this year in Berlin," Nokia spokeswoman Kristina Bohlmann said Tuesday. Nokia will continue to exhibit at the 3GSM show, a key event for the mobile phone industry and one that the Finnish manufacturer prefers to use to announce new products, according to Bohlmann. "The two shows are only about three weeks apart, and 3GSM comes first, so it's just more important for industry news," she said. Enthusiasm for Cebit among manufacturers of consumer electronics products has been on the wane in recent years, due largely to the perception of many companies that the big and costly show mainly draws business people rather than consumers. Last year, Koninklijke Philips Electronics pulled out of Cebit, and some other big consumer electronics manufacturers, including LG Electronics, are rumored to be mulling a no-show as well.
