Cell Phone HDTV

No doubt incorporating a cool running 700 lumen projector into the phone to
throw the image on a wall...

or was it a tri-colour scanning laser?

A new stretch. First it was mobile was the equivalent of "driver
watching TV while in motion" disregarding all the ways a driver can
watch a video while driving now. There are laptops and DVD players
galore that offer mobile video not to mention that a very high
percentage of vehicles that come with rear seat video etc.

Now we equate cell phone use with driver use automatically.

If this line of reasoning is to be followed we should outlaw drive thru
fast food restaurants first and then restrict mothers (or fathers) from
having any access to their children while driving. A soundproof rear
closed compartment for kids. Then makeup and haircare products in a car
should be felonies.

All this before we get to cell phones let alone restricting them from
receiving video.

I don't think anyone is expecting the cell phone to display HD on its
screen. They do expect the cell phone to be a receiver for HD
projectors, to be attached to larger display devices like an HD monitor
or to be used with heads up gear where the individual has a head mounted
display that delivers an HD experience.

There already exist pocket projectors and heads up displays and cell
phones being used as receivers for large TV sets or monitors.

It all exist now. But don't expect any of it with 8-VSB. We are safe
from the future of HDTV here in the US.

Cell phone attached to larger digital display...

Pocket projector attached to cell phone digital TV receiver. Really
small ones are in the works. Smaller than the one at this site...

The neatest solution are heads up displays IMO...

Obviously but not in the US with 8-VSB.

I am talking about the HDTV reception ability of a cell phone with a one
inch antenna that makes it an STB for larger displays that include heads
up displays, pocket sized projectors, full sized projectors or any
number of display devices we know nothing about today since they are not
invented yet.

It has everything to do with the modulation method if you do not want to
carry directional antennas on 30 ft mast around with you. I like the
idea of an HD receiver that will fit into a cell phone and use cell
phone size omni antenna.
