The BlackBerry with Pico Projector is definitely slimmer than last year’s prototype, though the BlackBerry is wider. The BlackBerry in the video is actually just a dummy BlackBerry casing, hopefully TI will be able to complete a working phone with the Pico Projector integrated.

During a communication tradeshow in TianJin (IMIE 2008), ShengTai is demonstrating its first phone model with built in projector. Similar to the TI prototype, a micro projector is built on to the top of the mobile phone.  Slightly bigger than a normal size phone body, the micro projector make use of LCoS (Liquid crystal on silicon) technology and is able to give you a 30-inch screen projection.

At the back of the CKing you get a built in speaker, together with a manual focus switch to adjust the focus ring. Has made-in-china phone surprised you? Then again, if only they put in more efforts, there is always something that they copied from elsewhere.
