On Sunday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Samsung announced the introduction of the Galaxy Beam, a smartphone that lets users project photos and video on the nearest blank wall, ceiling or impromptu screen. The phone has a 5 MP camera and records in 720p at thirty frames per second.

That is awesome, but other than the inital "wow" factor I am not sure how it could actually be purposeful. Maybe showing a PP or video in a meeting from your phone, but other than that I don't see it catching on. Looks cool though.

With 15-lumen of projection power you would need to wait for an eclipse AND power outage to use it.

Anyway, I think somebody at Samsung lost a bet.
