Samsung Show W7900 projector phone demonstrated

It's a projector inside a cell phone. Neat, right? Unfortunately, it's only available in Korea, but get a look here to see what you're missing out on.

You might not remember this, but at the Consumer Electronics show a couple weeks ago Samsung showed off a for-the-moment Korea-only cell phone called the Show. Its claim to fame: it has a built-in projector! Neat as that was, we almost forgot about it ourselves until we saw this video from Popular Science demonstrating what the touchscreen phone is capable of. Not only does it project images onto the wall (and stick through to the end of the video to see that; it's mighty impressive), but it also apparently has a very sharp, very deep and beautiful OLED screen.

The six-minute video also shows off the touchscreen user interface, the various widgets and games that come on the phone, and some strange stuff that's not likely to ever be released in the United States, like a bundled application that tracks how many days you've been sober. Watch below.

This looks great, but he's showing how unresponsive that beautiful screen is to touch. Is it possible to have an OLED capacitive touch screen?

Yeah, it looked clunky for clicking and scrolling, but that projection is amazing.
