When I first read about the Samsung Galaxy Beam, I was incredibly excited. A phone, with a built-in projector. Too cool. Naturally I leaped at the chance to get hands on with it.
To understand why I was excited, you have to understand that one of my favourite ever TED talks is by Pranav Mistry and involves him demonstrating Sixth Sense, a device that combines motion sensor technology with a wearable projector and pint sized computing.

When I first watched Mistry’s talk, I thought it was the future of personal computing. A couple of hundred articles and some hard time in the space later, I’m convinced of it, although I think that future may be a bit further off than I once did.
