Thought T-Mobile's G1 was thick? Take a gander at LG's eXpo smartphone, which is the width of several iPhones stacked on top of one another. But unlike the iPhone or G1, the eXpo sports a pico projector.
Whether or not users will be receptive to a smarphone with a sizable hunchback remains to be seen, but for the time being, that appears to be the trade off in order to outfit a phone with a projector. And we're sure it will draw at least a little interest. In a snazzy video demo, the eXpo is shown beaming a 10-foot projection of the movie Transformers, which played smoothly and looked very good overall.
To be fair, the projector can be removed, leaving the user with a relatively slim phone. It's built around Windows Mobile and comes with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
AT&T is now selling eXpo to business customers for $299 minus a rebate.
