Apple to add micro projectors to iPhone, iPod?

Apple, Nokia and Samsung Electronics are all planning to launch handsets with built-in micro projectors by the end of this year.

That's according to DigiTimes who claim to have inside information that Foxlink - a subsidiary of Apple's manufacturing partner Foxconn - are producing micro projectors.

Foxlink has sent samples to clients for verification, which may pave the way for small shipments in the fourth quarter of 2009, the unnamed sources quoted by DigiTimes said.

Armed with micro projectors video and photo content from an iPhone or iPod could be protected onto a wall or screen. Which begs the question, why beyond the novelty value, would you want to do this as at best it would be low tech?
