The new PD-S2900 Digital Light Processing Projector set to be available later this year.

Foxconn has just recently showcased their newest DLP Projector. The PD-S2900 is small enough to fit in the palm of your hands, being just 4″ by 3.6″ by 1.4″ and weighing roughly a pound. Even though the concept of small projectors is nothing new, this one manages to get ahead of the others by possessing fifty-five lumens of brightness and the ability to project a clear screen from just  a few feet away.

Unfortunately, there have been no plans to ship this little device out of Taiwan any time soon, but I’m sure that once it is, it’ll become a very popular product. For those of you who live in Taiwan, check for it to be available later this year.

I can’t wait for these little devices to become commonly built. Then, I’ll finally be able to afford one.

TimesOnline has reported that Apple has recently filed a new patent that would allow an array of solar cells to be placed inside the screen for their ever-so-popular iPhone.

If they’re awarded the patent, which they entitled ‘Solar cells on portable devices’, we can expect to see new generation iPhones that will last much longer on a single battery charge. Apparently, they are not expecting it to be powerful enough to completely remove the need of a conventional phone charger.

The method described in the patent application would essentially turn the entire 2.4″x4.5″ face of the iPhone and iPod Touch into fully functional solar panels by placing stacks of solar cells underneath the screen.

I’ll admit that I’m not the biggest fan of the iPhone, but if I see this technology implemented in the near future, I just may have to give in to the temptation.
