Abstract

In this paper, we describe HW and SW features of the developed prototype of a hybrid of 3G mobile phone and wireless terminal, which provides integral video projection onto two VGA/2 displays. These could be fold/collapsed one onto each other, or re-mounted, while the ratio of the total length-to-height is 4:3, so preserving integral video VGA format and, consequently, displaying Internet content, e-mail messages, PC SW screens, multimedia etc. Two displays that share the image provides it with overall resolution of 640times480 pixels per inch. The device is driven by Texas Instruments OMAP 2420 multimedia processor with ARM1136 core and Linux operating system. In addition, the device is equipped with specially developed prototypes of unique spring/microgenerator-based battery charger as well as with ultra-thin mountable foil-based QWERTY keyboard.
