PC Mag has a video up demoing the LG eXpo. eXpo is one of the first phones with a projector attachment ready for prime time and it runs Windows Mobile 6.5 with its own S-class UI. The projector seems to perform really well, the video however makes no mention of how the 1GHz processor or the biometric security in the device performs.
