3M's Pocket Video Projector First to Hit Shops, 30th September
Back in May we brought you some more data on the upcoming 3M pocket video projector, but only guesses on its release date: now we know it's September 30th. The palm-sized MPro110 has a VGA and composite video input, so it'll be good for either your laptop or portable gadgets with video-out. It's got manual focus, but no speaker—but for most purposes I guess you won't miss that. The guys at PopSci liked it, noting that it's pretty basic but projects nicely onto walls, desks, paper and people in a variety of lighting conditions. We'll have to wait to closer to the launch to hear more details, but the gizmo is set to cost $359. [PopSci via TheEarthTimes]

Eepybird, the same company that brought you a series of professional level Diet Coke and Mentos clips, have created an equally if not more remarkable video of 280,951 Post-its submitting to gravity while simultaneously creating some sort of new genre of office art. It's worth a click...and then another. [via Geekologie]

Clear Armor Brings Apache-Grade Scratch Protection to Your iPhone (But Will It Blend?)
Case-mate has announced the release of a "groundbreaking" new product designed to protect your iPhone, iPod touch, iPod classic (80GB and 160GB) or BlackBerry Curve from scratches using a military-grade Scotchgard film from 3M that was originally designed to protect Apache helicopter blades during Desert Storm. The film is also completely clear, so there are no bulky, ugly cases to contend with. But the real question here is: does it blend? Well, let's find out: More »

3M's Mini-Projector Mystery Company Turns Out To Be Samsung
Back in March we learned that 3M would partner with a "leading consumer electronics company" in an attempt to be the first to market with a mini mobile projector. After months of speculation, 3M's CEO George Buckley has revealed that the mystery company in question will be Samsung. He also revealed that the price point for the device would be between $200-$400, which is $100 less on the low end than the previous estimate. More »

Latest by N@tedog: I travel to pitch new business and this would be invaluable. No more lugging a laptop AND projector around. Just toss my BB on the conference table and push play. That would raise some eyebrows. I just hope they'll be paying attention to my presentation more than this new fandangled more »

3M has thrown its hat (albeit a little late) into the mobile projector ring with the likes of Texas Instruments and Microvision with a new ultra-compact, LED-illuminated projection engine that can project a 40-inch or larger image at VGA resolution. The device is intended to be integrated into a wide array of mobile technologies—and cellphones are undoubtedly at the top of that list. Fortunately, we won't have to wait too long for the technology to arrive. The device is already available and 3M is planning on partnering with various electronics manufacturers to release products in early 2008. [Press Release]
