Microvision turns your hand held device into a video projector. Check out this video gallery of ways to use the Microvision application. They’ve announced a partnership with Motorolla to put it in your cel-phone, and you just know that the iPhone can’t be far behind.
Combine this with wideband Internet access announced at the recent Consumer Electronics show, and you’ve got a combination that makes digital movies more accessible than ever before.
What, you haven’t heard about wideband?
Wideband is fast, fast, fast for instance: you can download the entire Encyclopedia Brittanica, and the Merriam Webster Visual Dictionary in just over 3 minutes. That same download would take over 3 hours with today’s cable modems. Or more to the point, say you want to watch Batman Begins in high def, you could download it with today’s cable modem in a little over six hours, or using wideband the same download would take four minutes. That’s less time than it takes to make the popcorn you’re going to eat while you watch the movie.
Prepare to be blown away, check this out.

is competition working in the sense that i am hostage to comcast prices and services? sure, there are advances in the technology, but would that happen anyway? this is cool, but i am looking for world where i can choose from multiple providers of wideband and other means of using thechnology….

of course the way these things usually works out is somebody in this case Comcast starts providing something, and then everybody has to do the same to stay competitive. I guess everybody will be offering this by the end of 2008 or early 2009.
