Hi Michele,

my first idea was to use some small LCD video monitor, like the ones
that are sometimes installed to watch TV in cars etc. But the smallest
dimension I can find is about 6-7", which is still much larger than a
mobile.

A better alternative is to keep your prototype running on the PC, and
install a little piece of software called VNC (download from
http://www.tightvnc.com/). This contains a server that allows you to
make the image of your PC screen available to other computers/devices.

Then you can use a real mobile to access your PC screen and show it on
the mobile screen using a version of VNC for the mobile. Such software
is available as a J2ME app (http://www.freeutils.net/vnc2go/index.jsp)
and as a Symbian/Nokia S60 app
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/symvnc).

Let me know if you need any more details about this. I've never tried
it myself but it should work.

Thanks,
Alex
