Well, surprise surprise: Logic Wireless doesn’t have the only projector phone at CES this year. Fresh off the plane from Korea comes the Samsung Show, a Korea-only projector phone that uses TI’s DLP technology rather than the Logic Bolt’s LCoS system to project images onto a big screen.
I got some hands-on time with the Show, but nobody I talked to knew much about it. It’s a somewhat bulky candybar-style phone. It runs a proprietary OS, and includes support for Korea’s DMB-T digital TV system. It uses Samsung’s TouchWIZ user interface, which involves a touchscreen and movable widgets.
The Show’s projector has five options: “File Viewer,” which shows movies in a large-screen format; “Album,” for photo slideshows, “Story Telling,” which appears to project animated Korean children’s stories, TV, and Flashlight, which is just a flashlight. You now know as much as I know, and pretty much as much as the Samsung PR people seemed to know. This phone will never, ever come to the US.
More details on the Samsung Show will come out later this week, Samsung reps said. Many more photos after the jump.
