    Awkward and impractical. The good old hearing aid design is way better, looks better, is more practical.

    Guess they did that so people don't look like they are deaf. But you don't need to be deaf to be practical about stuff hanging off your ears.

    When will companies finally realize that native 1080p is a *minimum* requirement for projectors? Sony's Microvision-powered MP-CL1A comes close but is let down by its crackpot 1920x720 resolution.

    It projects under a perspective so resolution per inch will significantly drop towards with distance from the projector. My bet is in real like it will look worse than it does on those fake promotional images.

    I know, right? There's no way we'd be able to see it on that sunlit table in the promotional image.

    Only Sony got these kinds of weird ideas. They came up with a water proof phone idea in 2011 with Xperia active. Persistently they created waterproof phones for till all the other major smartphone manufactures produced water proof phones. They started with onscreen buttons on Android and is been years. Now leaks saying latest iPhone and galaxy s8 might sport on screen buttons. They also stickied to the dedicated camera button as well as a fingerprint scanner planted on the side of the phone. I felt like it's the most intuitive place for one to place the finger. I enjoy it in my z5 compact.
    They are persistent with small phone ideas with powerful specs and only iPhone SE is a rival to their compact series. These guys got a lot of ideas. But the duty of perfecting them would be done by Apple or Samsung.

    They made the first consumer waterproof phone. There have been all kinds of waterproof phones for at least 3 decades, possibly even more.

    Yes, you are right.

    "making any surface a 23” touchscreen"

    So if I project it onto 12" surface, it'll expand it and make it 23"?

    That's some neat tech ;)
