This currently Korea-only projector cellphone peeped up its head at CES, and now our friends at PopSci had a chance to play with the Show and its 10-lumen built-in DLP projector.

Yep it’s a bit chubby, as any projector-toting phone most certainly will be, but it’s not as horrible as some of the other projector phones we’ve seen. Aside from the 480 x 320-res projector that uses Texas Instruments’ DLP tech, the Show also has a fine-looking 3.2-inch, 400 x 240 OLED touch screen, 5MP camera with LED flash, and Samsung’s widget-based touch OS. It’s dropping in South Korea soon, but there’s of course no news on a US release.

I’m actually pretty surprised at how good the image looks here. I’m still pretty skeptical that anyone will ever find an actual day-to-day use other than novelty from any pico projector, but if it’s built into your phone in a bulky but not Zach Morris bulky package, maybe that’s the answer.

If you have teenage daughters, you had better think twice about taking away their cellphone—because you could end up hiding in a bedroom while she frantically stabs at the door with two kitchen knives.

That’s just what happened to parents in Delaware after they revoked their 16-year old daughter’s cellphone privileges for stealing money to buy prepaid minutes. According to police, the girl dual-wielded kitchen knives and violently attacked a bedroom door where her parents were cowering in fear. After around 10 minutes of negotiation, the police were able to diffuse the situation.

In the last few months we have seen a runaway teenager die after having his Xbox 360 taken away, a teenager kill his parents over Halo 3 and 30-year old brothers stab each other over a PS2 controller. Naturally, this begs the question—what the hell is going on here? Is this a parenting issue, a social issue, or a scary psychological disorder that needs to be taken more seriously? [cbs3 via Fark]

Hey, this makes sense. No one wants to hear (or pay for) in-flight voice calls, and since only grandpa uses the voice feature of his phone these days, why not simply allow data plan usage?

The service will launch only on BA’s business-class-only flights from the smaller London City airport to New York’s JFK, so right now this is limited to banker types who can afford it. Also, the Telegraph does not hint at rates or service providers for the service. Other airlines like Emirates and BMI have implemented similar deals, and it seems like a pretty good compromise to the voice-calls-on-planes hubbub. No VoIP! [Telegraph via Mobile Burn]

Representative Pete King of New York has introduced a bill to Congress that would require all new cameraphones to have shutter sounds. Why? For the children!

The bill states that “Congress finds that children and adolescents have been exploited by photographs taken in dressing rooms and public places with the use of a camera phone,” a fact which I doubt many would challenge. What many will challenge are the notions that the main purpose of silent camera modes is to perv on Kindergartners and that banning these modes would stop anyone from doing so.

There is a practically unlimited supply of existing, silent-mode-enabled cameras that are available to anyone who wants them, not to mention the fact that many cameraphones have video modes, which present a problem that couldn’t really be solved short of requiring handsets to scream “HEY NAKED KIDS, I’M TAKING A VIDEO RIGHT NOW SO YOU SHOULD PROBABLY GO GET YOUR PARENTS” on loop for the duration of the recording.

The measure wouldn’t be effective at solving the problem it set out to, but it would certainly be effective at stripping a useful feature from phones for regular, law-abiding users who just don’t want a tacky fake mirror slap every time they take a picture. Update: This kind of thing has been happening in Japan for some time now, so make of that what you will. [Crave]

Even though the Palm Treo Pro has been supposedly delayed for Sprint until February 15, Best Buy is now putting the phone up for preorder on its website for $699.

The price is steep, but about normal for a contract-free phone. Best Buy will ship the (currently backordered) Palm Treo out in one to two weeks. Methinks that if you’ve already waited long enough for the Palm Treo Pro to come out, you might as well wait for the Pre lest you get stuck with the-soon-to-be antiquated Windows Mobile 6.1 software.

We are excited to announce that our first iPhone Application has gone live in the App Store! The name of the game is Hooters Calendar Slider and it went live sometime last Thursday.

Hooters Calendar has been a longtime partner of Movaya’s – Movaya powers their wallpaper store on hooterscalendar.com and we are excited to partner with them on this project.

The game took us a few months to develop and Movaya is acting as the publisher as well.

Based on the classic puzzle tile game – slide the tiles by tapping the touch screen to re-arrange the pictures to see your favorite Hooters Calendar girls.

Key Features Include:

- 60 levels featuring your favorite Hooters Calendar girls
- 3 levels of difficulty
- Shake phone to re-arrange tiles if you get stuck
- Save solved pictures to your phone and use them as wallpaper!

We will be adding additional components to the game in the coming weeks including new pictures and leaderboard functionality.

We would sure appreciate all of our readers who have iPhones to give the game a try. Per our previous post, we have priced the game at $1.99 which we think is a terrific value considering single Hooters Calendar wallpapers typically sell for $2 through carrier stores.

If you have ideas for the game, drop us a line and we’ll also be letting you know how sales go over the next few weeks.
