It’s called 3M Mpro 150 – It’s not just a projector, it’s a presentation, preservation, preparation, production, progression perfection, that’s perhaps the marketing punch of the 3M for this gizmo but it’s impressively stated.

This new pocket projector from 3M lets you view your office presentation including almost all the ms office apps formats through MS powerpoint, MS Excel and even PDF files so that you can be at liberty to choose from the widest range of platform supports.
When you are not busy demonstrating business strategies in the board room meetings, you can directly connect your iPhone, iPod Touch devices to the 3M pocket projector and expand the fun on a magnified display with 15 lumens brightness, good enough to fill the fun in a dark room.

The 3M portable projector also lets you view snapshots and videos in mpeg and mp4 formats right from its 1Gigabyte of internal storage unless you wish to expand the memory using a micro SD flash card or try to stream the data using an external accessory like an iPod or iPhone.

It’s has a set of button controls on its face, a microSD card slot on one of its side edges and an enticing hardware look and comfortable feel, particularly talking about the velvet-black look contrasted with a touch of shiny silver buttons.

This 3M pocket projector can rest on a flip stand incarcerated into the base of the projector or you may also choose to rest it over a tripod stand when need is to adjust the angles and height.

In the video, Toby demonstrates us how the 3M pico projector displays a spreadsheet effectively just like any portable projector, and seemingly suggests that it’s good enough to carry around in your pockets for displays your business statistics and other leisure of entertainment.

A few still shots projected through the pocket projector are proof enough that it is not very much different than any table top projector that seeks comfort in labs. When this is done, you can also enjoy quite a number of music videos appraising its embedded stereo speaker.

The device is available for about $395 starting February this year for the US markets and is good enough to be called as a home theater on your palm.

It’s a USB pocket projector with about 1GB of in-built memory, 0.5W audio output support and a LED lamp with 12,000yrs life time. It connects to your system through a mini USB port with a contrast ratio of 260:1 to deliver a display resolution of 640×480 pixels.

The projected display can be adjusted resized from as small as 5 inches to as large as 65 inches. It plays all the popular multimedia video formats like JPG, BMP, AVI, MOV, DivX, XviD, 3GP and MP4.

Alternatively, it is powered by a a couple of AA batteries or an AC adapter while the mini USB port can be used for feeding the video into the USB projector.

Sad that, there are no details on support for powerpoint presentations, which is something more of an intent for most of the Pocket Projectors.

If you run short of memory, you may add up some extra storage using a SD memory card and expand your gallery storage for more fun, more entertainment. There is also a headphone jack, so you can plug in your favorite headsets when you feel like enjoying your pocket theater all alone.

Quick Highlights? The device is basically a 10 lumens pico projector that projects images of 640*240 resolution 32inches diagonally using a set of white LEDs and an LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon) for the display.

Something that you’ll not appreciate about the device is that it does not connect with external video input sources. That means,  the device does not accept any input data for presentation from your laptop or computer.  Rather it accesses input from its internal memory or a SD expansion card.

For the same reason, it also incorporates Microsoft Office Viewers to display MS Word, MS Powerpoint and other supported Microsoft file formats. And it supports entertainment formats like WMV, AVI, MPEG, BMP, JPEG, MP3, WMA, or WAV for that extra fun.

A couple of speakers, support for using an external USB keyboard and mouse, 64MB RAM and 64MB flash memory form some interesting list of features for this gizmo. It runs Windows CE 5.0 and is powered by an ARM9-based 400 MHz Samsung S3C2442 processor.

It runs for about 2hours on a single charge and will be sold for about $576 (or 49,800 Japanese Yen). Yes, that’s so because it’s presently sale-bound to Japanese markets only but will probably make it to the global markets very soon.

New Vista : Pocket Projector for iPod/iPhone

I remember reading a quote on the web that said – “the world is shrinking into an iPhone” and that seems practically obvious now. Until now, your iPod/iPhone was a great gadget for entertainment where all the fun was trapped into its sleek and glossy 3.5” screen.

But, ever since the iPhone has landed into the mobile market, things have changed and we hear about a new accessory for the iPhone/iPod Touch almost every week.

You can now enjoy a greater and rich entertainment experience from your iPod/iPhone by just connecting your device to a pocket sized projector available through Phonesuit.com.

Let me introduce you to a pocket projector for iPhone/iPod which is termed as “MiLi Pro”. Just nudge your iPod/iPhone onto the MiLi Pro’s dock and it is ready to multiply the fun. It can display pictures and images at a max resolution of 640X480 pixels at 10 Lumens brightness.

You can connect this mini projector for iPhone/iPod to your laptop through the VGA port on its dock or just plug in your camcorder or any other digital player that connects through a RCA port and other such compatible devices that can connect through direct AVs.

That's how it Works!!

It is compatible with iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, iPod Touch and iPod Classic and uses LCOS, a LED driven micro projector with a life time of 20,000 hours that can produce display up to the size of a 40” screen.

The dock comes with built in speakers that enhance your entertainment experience. The iPhone/iPod video projector lives on the power from the rechargeable and swappable PhoneSuit MiLi Battery which needs 3hrs of charging after a complete drain out.

This mini projector for iPod/iPhone is ideal for business professionals and also for entertainment addicts, precisely for anyone owning an iPhone (except 1st generation iPhone).

It would not be a false prophecy to say that iPhone will soon have the highest score of accessories and applications than any other phone in the market. This iPod/iPhone projector is one cool accessory that you must look out for your iPhone and iPod when it is released this fall.

Price and launch dates are yet to surface. Meanwhile, you can click here to become a member of the PhoneSuit family and keep yourself updated about the latest news from its core.
