iJector Sprays 50 Inches of iPod, iPhone Video Onto Any Wall

Simple, dock-form iPod projectors have typically been either a) imaginary lust objects or b) forsaken concepts. Landing next month, the iJector is neither of those things, in that it's going be to available. Unfortunately, we've already spotted a few dealbreakers. More »

DigiLife Crams a Pico Projector Into a Pocket Camcorder

DigiLife's DDV-JF1 pocket camcorder rocks mostly the same features as other mini-cams like the Flip HD, including 720p recording and a 2.5-inch LCD. But it's got a trick up its sleeve—a 640x360 pico projector built right in. No word on price or availability yet, though. [Engadget]

Hands-on With 3M's Second-Gen Pico Projectors With Added RGB LEDs

Pico Cube Projector is World's Smallest, Says Maker Epoq

"About the size and weight of a hen's egg" runs the tagline for this projector. That'd be some special large cubic hen then. But this Pico Cube EPP-HH01 from Epoq projector is undeniably tiny—it's just 2.2 x 2.2 x 1.6 inches across, which Epoq says makes it the world's smallest. It projects VGA resolution images from its LCoS image chip with a 3W LED light source giving it a 80:1 ANSI contrast ratio. It's no high-end video projector of course, but you don't expect that from a gadget of this size. And it does somehow squeeze in a speaker, making it handy for impromptu business presentations and such. It's due to ship this month, for a suitably tiny $230. [Gadgetcraver.com]

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]

We have been hearing about mini /pico projectors for a long time now but so far, nothing has made it to store shelves.

OObject has collected 18 of these potential products, including our own look at Microvision's Pico Projector at CES. [OObject]

TI Builds Pico Projector Into BlackBerry Curve

Texas Instruments has expressed its intention to build its LED Pico tech into mobile devices before, but this is the first well-implemented example to be properly demonstrated. Crunchgear got a brief go on the Frankenberry, and it looks like it works just fine. While the small clip doesn't totally assuage our fears that such a system will produce poor images, the respectable projection size and apparent brightness are both promising for such an early prototype.
