Nikon has put a pico projector into a compact camera...

Pico projectors may not have the best image or be bright enough for normal viewing, but their tiny size certainly brings up some cool uses.

I always liked this Optoma demonstration video....

What I'd really like to see is a bright projector built into an iphone type of device that I could also hook up to a large monitor and wireless keyboard.

One tiny device for everything: camera, video recorder, GPS, computer, portable credit, TV, etc.

Oh yea, and a phone, too.

I think that's closer than you think... :)

The big jump, I believe, is the computer part. While you can succesfully argue that the iphone is a computer (because it is), it's simply not a replacement for a desktop or laptop. But it's certainly possible that as its computing power increases, eventually we may have a desktop dock that connects the iphone to a regular monitor and keyboard.
