We've known for some time that Apple would like to cram a projector into its next iPhone, but are they on track to really do so? It looks that way, at least according to a handful of patents Apple has applied for.
The latest projector-related patent seems to describe a few different types of projection systems, including one in which a projector could be shared simultaneously by several devices over a wireless network.
"According to Apple's patent, the projector could be integrated into a dedicated remote controller associated with the projection system or it could be offered as an auxiliary client device such as an iPhone, iPod touch, or laptop," PatentlyApple.com writes.
What exactly Apple is up to remains a mystery, if not an intriguing one. In one of the pictures Apple provides, you see what looks like an iPhone attached to Nintendo's Wii console and beaming the gaming action on the wall. This is just one of many examples, all of which you can see here.

Lighten up, Francis...
As much as I despise the pro-Apple culture, Apple is relevant, and they release relevant products. The iPod, iPhone, and certainly iTunes are (like it or not) extremely relevant. (Their computers, well... not so much).
Though I refuse to buy Apple products, it's nice to know what's coming, particularly without having to troll the pro-Jobs-fellatio sites. Wouldn't you rather learn of pending Apple products in this forum, a forum that's much more hostile and critical?

That would be Francois to you!......now, there is nothing about apple products that are relevant to PC's except for it's glorified itunes. Without itunes, nothing...repeat...nothing would or could sync to a PC. Jobs has made it to where PC parts can (under strict approval) works with apple products but not the other way around unless you use an EFI, and they are even being sued by apple.
