It can be an external accessory for now. (A linked video there was showing a separate projector hooked up to an ipod, showing a movie.) But the phone needs a video output. I would hope it could be digital video, although for the ipod I imagine they are using the composite video pin. IMO the future OM phones ought to at least have the LCD signals available on a connector. (It can be a tiny one, like the Hirose type that the Gumstix boards are using.) Then it should be possible for us to make a daughterboard for driving external displays. (One daughterboard to convert to HDMI, and/or another for composite, depending on what types of projectors become available.) There could be a "sled" for the back of the phone that contains the daughterboard. But if even more signals are available on the expansion connector, other types of sleds would be possible: extra memory (CF or SD slots), extended battery, wireless battery charger, NFC, Zigbee, etc. Later the sled could include the whole projector, when it becomes available. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
