DAMN IT (or insert your own expletive) ! I knew I should have gotten ready earlier. Okay Steve, now think, real hard... Where is the last place you remember having your keys? Keep calm, take a deep breath, and don't panic.
In the car? ... Not there!
On the table? ... Not there either!
In my pocket? ... Wrong again Steve-O, you already checked there... 5 times.
I know I better make this quick; my son needs to be at basketball practice by 4:30 or he can't play in this weekend's tournament. My wife will be mad at me (to say the least) and the grandparents are making a special trip just see him. Agggrrr ... where are they?!

You will now be able to track those elusive items with audio and visual cues.

With so many smartphone choices, which one do you choose? This is the question that many of us face when in the market for a new phone. Samsung has added a feature to help make that decision easier. 

In late February, Samsung announced they would be introducing their re-engineered Android powered smartphone, the Galaxy Beam. What makes this phone so different? A newly improved design with and an integrated projector.

Although projectors in phones are not entirely new to the phone market, the Galaxy Beam is significantly thinner (12.5mm) and has higher projection brightness (15 lumens) when compared to its competitors. Other specifications include a dual core 1GHz processor (U8500 chipset), a 4" WVGA LCD screen, WiFi, 8GB of storage (with additional memory slot), 3 hours of video playback, and a projection resolution of 640x360.
