No matter how big your TV is, it’ll never be big enough. If you want Odeon-like home cinema action you’ll need a Projector.
The new Infocus Play Big X10 packs Full HD capabaility into its tasty-looking frame, but the best bit is the image it projects. All 203-inches of it. What’s more, at today’s prices that’s an inflation-busting £4.44 per inch.

Sure, PSP’s getting beaten hands down by the DS, and Nokia is fighting back with N-Gage – not to mention the ensuing iPhone threat – but that doesn’t necessarily mean the next generation of PSP will be a mobile dialer too.

Is this possible, and if so can you point me in the right direction?

It’s more than just a pretty face and its tempered glass front and carbon fibre body not only look fantastic but should be able to take a knock or two.
