I posted same question on development group, but i see that community list
is more active now :)

I get more interested to Open Moko after presentation of Harald in DORS(in
Croatia - this mounth)

I just want to ask, did anyone think about integrating DLP Pico Projector in

I'd love to have this chio in gta03, but i guess, that it will be too 
expensive to integrate it, also in 2 years. :-(

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.

All this worth nothing for Open Moko unless we/someone puts it together and
make it useful!? Does anyone have any idea about that!?

Yeah sounds familiar.  I think a mirror with single-axis rotation
would be rather like the technology used in the Private Eye HMD, which
was incorporated into the Nintendo Virtual Boy: they would only need
to project one row of pixels, then rotate the mirror to expand the one
row into a whole frame (and update the row of pixels as it rotates).
But the whole-frame DMD is likely to be the better choice in the long
term, just as the Private Eye gave way to much better HMDs.

I have one of the original ones for the PC at home.  It connects to an
ISA card which emulates CGA in monochrome mode, 640x200.  It vibrates
noticeably in use.  And an all-red monochrome display is not pleasant
to look at for long.  I ran across one in 2000 and picked it up
because I remembered the article announcing it in Radio-Electronics or
wherever it was, when I was much younger.  :-)

http://ecloud.org/journal/private-eye.html

Another way which has shown a lot of promise is a combination of
lasers and holographic optics, which I don't understand very well.
(How to make the laser scan the frame, preferably without moving
parts, or only microscopic/nanotech ones?)
