Greg writes about the possibility of using an LCD tv, especially 
over an Eyephone. I see no problem if your willing to pan a 
document or close-up of a scene with your head vice your eyes.
An inherent problem with tv's is their bandwidth, your just not
going to get sufficient resolution for details. The Eyephone
would seem to support a higher resolution. 

Now if your willing to pan with head motion, then a window onto
an apparently oversize document should be do-able with the LCD.
So now we have a virtual newspaper :-}
