Battery life measured in seconds?

So, now we won’t need a PC/projector to view PowerPoint presentations? Uh, OK. I see where that fits a market. But what I want is a common cell phone that will handle simple database applications, Excel and Word documents, or e-books, so I don’t have to carry my PalmPilot along with my phone, or pay $100s of dollars to enjoy such things.

“These Samsung phones instantly turn any situation into a media viewing opportunity.”

Written as if that describes a good thing.

Blackberry has a feature you can download called DocHawk that does that.. of course, if you are investing in a Blackberry you could also get a Windows Smartphone and skip the middleman.

We’ll be renewing our Verizon contract in October. I’d planned to look for a solution at that time, with Blackberry in mind (although I don’t want/need to spend a bundle...). Right now I carry a Samsung phone and a PalmPilot Tungsten E2. The Palm has applications such as SmartList (bundled with DocumentsToGo) where I can create simple databases for keeping track of data. I also have a Bible reader and e-reader on it, as well as TCMP for viewing video.

I’ll keep DockHawk in mind. A Google search brought up it may be associated with Handango, where I obtained the latest DocumentsToGo...

I have a Blackberry Pearl now but I am about to get a Storm, I’ll let you know how it works.

My company helped design and produce the lens sets for this application about a year ago for a korean company. the apps worked great, but it was still a little bit fragile, (couldnt survive the drop test).
This will be interesting when someone decides to watch a little porno while riding the bus eh?

Appreciate that! I'm wondering, though, whether the Pearl would do it for me. I don't need much, and it's been around long enough to where it should be reasonably priced.

I got my Storm a month ago and I love it. It’s great for business use and Verizon’s coverage is superior to other carriers. The phone has a couple of quirks and the video quality is average at best, but I still like mine better every day.

Images in excess of 50-inches are possible depending on ambient light conditions

Even if everything else works perfectly, how long is a cell phone battery going to sustain that amount of illumination output?

I wonder what the lumen rating is... 2?

Pretty exciting line of work, you’ve contributed to making a Star Wars prop into reality. And don’t knock those early adopters.

SO how well does this phone project on to polarized glass? Enough lumens to project the GPS map onto the windshield?

You’re going to have to pay for something with the power and screen to deal with a database. HanDBase is a relational database available for many smart phones, and it syncs with desktop databases.

That capability has been standard in Pocket PC Phone Editions since the first edition in 2000.

Not to be confused with Smart Phones, even though Microsnot has done their best to do so, Pocket PC's are a computer, not a PDA. And, keep in mind (especially when talking with a MAC-nut-LOL), Pocket PC's have always had touch screens.

Howard Forums is one of the very best website resources there are for Phone, Palm, and Pocket PC information. Another very good one, especially if you like to "mod" stuff, is XDA-Developers.com.
