Mini projectors exist today and will improve.Several years from now a real PC replacement in a phone is possible and even probable. The OS will need to be more powerful than the current Android.

        <description><![CDATA[I don't normally watch video reviews, but I respect Jason's opinion and I think his review of this product was very helpful, balancing pro's and con's.  This is precisely the sort of review I'm looking for on new tech.  And to those who feel they can't watch a video review at work, well, that's what earbuds/headphones are for.  I work in a tech oriented business and this sort of thing is considered very normal.  If you work in a business where wearing earphones isn't considered normal, well, be the first ... it ought to be and will be soon enough.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[If all this phone does is give me access to citrix services or web access, I fail to see the &quot;wow&quot; factor.  I can do this with other phones already.  duh.  I want a phone that is a real computer, that can run windows office applications without the internet if needed.  Heck even google apps you need the internet.  duh.  we end users want FLEXIBILITY!  NOT to be forced to do our work over the internet, but use the internet WHEN WE WANT TO.  I want to work without the internet sometimes!  Get with the program.]]></description>

I didn't actually watch the video because the comments said it all for me.

        <description><![CDATA[Don't have time for video reviews at work or video news stories at home.  I have been changing my newsletter subscriptions more often or just ignoring them.  Just my opinion but the enterprise (at least our enterprise) is not on pace with what is shown in this newsletter, Microsoft Office Suite and TR Dojo newsletters.  We are still using laptops for employees on the road for over 300 days a year and management is still using Blackberry devices.  We just upgraded to Office 2007 last year and are preparing to go to Windows 7 within the next year or two.  All these tablets and smart phones look nice but the enterprise is looking for consistancy, stability and integration when they move forward.]]></description>
