Cool device, but let's not forget: the real limitation of built-in projetors for mobile phones is not the size, but the power consumption. To get a good image visible in daytime on the wall you have to output lots of light, and that will eat your battery faster than you think. But then again, if you really need to use the phone as a projector, it has to be steady on the tabletop anyway so you just plug in the charger i guess :)
