3M Pocket Projector MPro110

by Daniel O
Price as Reviewed $359

Pack your pico projector and your netbook and go deliver that keynotes wherever you want. When it comes to choosing a netbook you have lots of options. They are all similar pieces of hardware under different brands. But choosing a pico projector is actually more difficult as there aren’t that many on the market.

3M have announced their newest product, the MPro110 (pocket projector) and the guys at Popsci.com have got their hands on one. Basically it’s a mini projector that plugs into most DVD players via a VGA cable and allows your movie to be projected nearly anywhere! In a dark room this could possibly replace your flashy home cinema system. It doesn’t come with speakers though, so keep the flashy ones for that. The MPro110 also comes with a composite jack cable to allow you to plug in and receive output from things like your PSP or iPhone. Priced at only $359 it goes on sale September 30th and 3M say they may incorporate it into cellphones next year too.

Aiptek V10

Price as reviewed $649

Look, if I want to watch videos or look at pictures on the go, I’ll take a PMP with me. Or a digital camera. Or a mini-notebook. But, it would have been great if I had something like this when I was in college, using old-skool transparent film on a low-tech overhead projector. It would have been better if it had the same size of image projection claimed by Aiptek’s PocketCinema V10 mini projector.

The Aiptek PocketCinema V10 mini projector can read MP4 and JPEG files, and features a 3-in-1 input jack and 1GB of storage with support for SD/MMC/MS Pro cards. But those specs are not what make this device notable. According to DigiTimes, the V10 can project 50-inch images. FIFTY! Unfortunately, the resolution and other specs are conveniently not mentioned, so we’re left wondering if we should be impressed or skeptical.

Mint V10

Price as reviewed $649.00

Australia based Mint Wireless has unveiled the new V10 pocket projector, which is manufactured by Aiptek, and claimed to be the world’s tiniest projector in the consumer market.

The V10 can display and project videos and images which are input via a 3-in-1 AV jack, or video and images stored on its 1GB memory, or on MS pro, MMC and SD cards.

It is believed that the projection tech within the V10 is from 3M and supports JPEG, AVI, ASF and MPEG-4 formats. Unfortunately though there is no wireless module built into the V10.

The Mint Wireless V10 pocket projector, when available should carry a price tag of roughly $649.00.

Samsung P400

Price as reviewed $800,00

Samsung has taken the curtain off the P400 pocket projector for the US, bringing yet another lightweight and tiny device that targets mobile professionals.

Available in a fingerprint-attracting glossy black finish, you get a resolution of 800 x 600 and a contrast ratio of 1,000 to 1. The bulb has been rated at 150 ANSI lumens, which makes it good enough to throw a decent 30" to 40" image in a well-lit office. Other features include a couple of 1W speakers, RGB, Composite, S-Video, and stereo audio input. No idea on pricing, but each purchase comes with a remote control.
