As soon as the Pico projector showed up on the scene, we knew this was inevitable: the Samsung Show, a cell phone with a built-in projector. If you manage to get your hands on one of these, you'll be able to carry your presentations with you on the go and display them without hauling around any equipment. It'll also project everything from DVDs to Xbox 360 games to Korean kids' books.

It does Korean kids' books because the phone is unfortunately only available in Korea, with no plans announced for release elsewhere. Just because you can't (easily) pick up this phone doesn't mean you won't ever get a projector phone, though. We can imagine this sort of thing showing up in the States or in Europe.

We missed this one at CES, but a video demonstration is included below courtesy of CrunchGear. Watch it and ponder whether you really, really need one of this, or if phones are doing too much already!
