HD output from cell phone
I love where this is going. TI is building a phone that is capable of emitting, but not displaying, hi-def video. So you keep your favorite videos with you. Then when you're at a friend's house, you plug your phone into an 80-inch HDTV monitor and enjoy.
Even if cell phones someday have DLP capabilities, you'll still need a screen to project onto, and that takes as much real estate as a giant flat-panel TV. And a cell phone will never have an 80-inch display. Better to let each device specialize as much as possible: let cell phones get smaller and better at pushing bits around, and let displays get bigger and brighter.

Yeah, but to use it the media companies will want to use DRM to force you to purchase a $50 memory disk with the same contents as the $30 blu-ray disk you already bought.
