If you are wondering how a penny stocks can be inflated, just think of it this way; if it is worth 2 cents and it is sold for 12 cents, it still seems like a bargain buy steroids right? At six times its value it is not that much of a bargain after all.

The technology was similar to that of now defunt IBiz tech. No word on weather this will go forward, it’s been 3 years now since the technology came out so.

It may not be a new idea but I like it, the trouble with mobile devices is that they are too big but to make them much smaller would make them unusable. The only way around this is for designers to break with the norms and be imaginative.

[...] There are plenty of innovations and technologies that are being developed to solve the problem of battery life. However, the problem with video is a little trickier. Users like cell phones because they are so useful and because they are so small. Yet users want a large screen and an especially large screen if they are to watch videos where there is great potential for the wireless service providers to make even more money. One solution that Samsung and a South Korean company are coming to is to put a miniature video projector in the phone. The projectors would be located on the outside of the phone and Samsung has plans for it to also be a way of inputting information into your phone. [...]

This is exactly same input technology of Celluon that is also in Korea like Samsung. Their projection keyboard not only supports keystroke but also mouse event as well. You can refer to http://www.projection-keyboard.com or http://www.celluon.com for details

I’d rather type on a virtual keyboard, than write with an ePen, that quickly depletes it’s batttery, for example.

This is better than the virtual keyboard though. I always thought the virtual keyboard would be the future of these devices but with no tactile response, the idea is dead in the water.

This may be the way solution.

Bummer, just when I thought I would never need to write again. My handwriting has deteriorated because I NEVER need to write anything.

This is not entirely original. For example, there is the VLK (Virtual Laser Keyboard) for Palm and other PDA’s – see here: http://www.virtual-laser-keyboard.com/ … here is another link: http://www.laser-keyboard.com/

It looks like this will be an adaptation of this idea, adding a stylus and dynamic UI.

What a farce…Those three elements are already represented by prior art, and the only thing new is how they are being put together. In fact, it begs the question, “how new does it need to be to be patentable?”. The virtual screen is the same as the laser keyboards which have been out over a year, the text recognition is essentially graffiti, and pen location recognition of that type is going to be similar to some patents for camera tech.

There was/is a virtual keyboard patent somewhere too, and a company that would manufacture it have encountered some – if I remember correctly – legal problems.. so this isn’t completly new.

Well UMPCs will come with stands so that they could sit up at an angle in a comfortable viewing position allowing the user to not have to hold it up. the virtual screen could be used as a keyboard (the original vscreen demo actually did that; it was a number pad) or a writing surface allowing the user to, say, finish a word document, conduct a live meeting, etc.

This reminds of this add-on I purchased for my treo:

http://www.projection-keyboard.com/store/productInfo.html?productId=1

It connects to my phone via bluetooth and projects a full-size laser keyboard on a flat surface– so much better than the tiny treo keyboard. Such a slick product!

Maybe.But I don’t see necessity for this virtual screen to be in UMPC. UMPCs already got rather big screens and pen input.

Just put UMPC on the table and write or draw what you want with stylus.

Samsung should also include this in their UMPC device.

Samsung new Virtual Screen Input Device…
