Out of Barcelona Mobile Show come more mobiles with built-in projectors.

Of course a mobile with a projector in it will become an essential for many people. For teachers, and students, for salesmen, for gamers, you can think of many more reasons that this device will be handy. Running off to present to the boss? Have your team preview and check your presentation. Can't agree who won the MVP for ....? Go to the web, and share the answer with your drinking pals on the wall behind you...I have been blogging about the mobile with projector from China for months. Now the rest of the world is picking up on this device. Still, we in the States must wait. Our Telecomm providers are holding us back. When will a smart competitor who realizes open is worth money, will come into the picture in the USA?

"At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, Samsung announced the first mobile phones with a projector built into it. The Samsung phones use a DLP imager from Texas Instruments. The high-end phones also feature an OLED touchscreen and a 5 megapixel camera. Initially, the I7410 and W7900 phones will only be available in Korea and Europe, but you can expect them to make their way to this country sooner or later."

Hyperlocal Is Happening

http://searchengineland.com/hyperlocal-is-happening-16533

<blockquote>To be sure, concerns about lagging local advertising isn't slowing mainstream news outlets from moving forward with a hyperlocal strategy. Early innovators such as the Journal-World (www2.ljworld.com) in Lawrence, Kansas, and the Rocky Mountain News in Denver (YourHub.com) have led the way for established media companies to see hyperlocalism as a way to win back readers and to target mom-and-pop advertisers who can't afford to, or simply don't want to, reach every household in a region.

Gannett, the nation's largest newspaper chain, and the Chicago Tribune (Triblocal.com) have also entered the field. And just last month, the Dallas Morning News rolled out 61 community websites carrying content specifically geared toward each of those communities.

Newspapers aren't the only ones looking to a hyperlocal approach to improve their product. Yellow Pages providers also are drilling deeper into communities and becoming even more localized and targeted.

The latest step forward comes as R.H. Donnelly launches its new DexKnows IYP platform. The site's features take local search to the next level, allowing searches by neighborhood or by landmark.</blockquote>

The transparency and data is part of the stimulus

http://blog.wired.com/business/2009/02/wired-o-nomics.html
A new measure will promote "...a less-noted type of economic infrastructure: government data. In the name of transparency, all the Fed's stimulus-spending data will be posted at a new government site, http://Recovery.gov,"according to a Wired-O-Nomics story. Because the data will be released in machine-readable formats, like RSS, XML, and KML, it will be possible for businesses to use it to do business, so the data will become part of the stimulus for our ailing economy.

The open data will spawn new uses, and "...the unforeseeable nature of data-driven innovation is exactly the point. "It's a little bit like if we were sitting in the Soviet Union in the mid-'80s, and somebody said 'What if we had an open market? What kind of businesses would we see?'" he says. "It's the nature of the benefits here that they are hard to predict."
