Changing OS in Mobile?

Whilst we have a very few operating systems for our computers,
the mobile market is packed and jammed with a whole lot of operating systems. Thanks to a tight competition in smartphone market.

There is a whole lot mobile OSs out there.
Symbian (Nokia)
Android (Google)
iOS (Apple)
Blackberry (Blackberry)
Windows Phone (Microsoft)
Palm WebOS (HP)
Bada (Samsung)
Maemo (Nokia)
MeeGo (Nokia and Intel)
and many others to come....

However unlike our desktops or laptops we cannot just go ahead and install any operating system that we want on our mobile phone.
Life would have been so much different if the manufacturers just shipped a phone with all the hardware and leave the choice of OS to customers.
(Nokia N900 fans might argue with this but I'm only talking about official support.)

I fancy this conversation.
Customer : How much for this cell?
Seller : $300 only sir.
Customer : How much for "X" OS?
Seller : $50 without SIM. But its free if you sign "Y" contract for two years.
: Try this "Z" OS sir. Its better and costs less too without SIM.

After all the bargains, you come out of the shop with the OS you wanted!

I hope it is not too long before this comes to reality. (N900 is spot on there!)

What do you think?

Mobile with a Projector !

How many of us feel that Mobile screen should have been bigger.

Once you cant resist temptation, you go to the shop and buy a bigger phone.

But there are iPhones and LG Chocolates that come and go beyond our expectations.

But still they are just touching 4 inch mark. Want more?

How would it be if we could have a Mobile which can give you as big screen as you want?
May be around 10 inch or 15 inch or ......... as big as your TV for that matter?
Or even larger than that?

Absolutely possible.
And still it will swiftly slide in your pockets.

Yes, but of course the screen will be projected using an in-built projector.
Just point and project!

But what if we dont have a screen or a wall to project it?

Well in that case we will have two options.
1. Use e-goggles which will depict the screen in front of both the eyes.
        (Nah!!, What if we fall in a PotHole while walking ? !!!!!!)
2. Use a technology in which a screen will be drawn in front of the user. (Just like a "real image" we get in our Science experiments) Only thing different is that we wont need to hold something like a cardboard to see the image. Rather it will be an "in air" projection (as shown in some Intel ads).

We can adjust the size and distance of the screen to virtually anything we want.

Get the advantage of Full Screen (oops! Bigger Screen) on the go! .... In your own ... Pocket!!!!!!
