Dell M109S Pocket Projector Displays More Than Just Pockets

Mark Wilson — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 10:20:00 EDT

You can't tell from the image, but that Dell M109S projector can fit in the palm of your hand (3.64" x 4.12" x 1.46"). With a modest brightness of 50 lumens and resolution of 858x600 (SVGA), the DLP-based M109S maintains a respectable throw distance of roughly 8 feet. The LED bulb will last four years before replacement and the system uses the same power adapter as some Dell laptops, making it all the more portable. The Dell M109S is on sale today starting at $500. Update: A review on a prototype of the projector is already out. [Dell via Toys and Gadgets]

Mint V10: World's Smallest Pocket Projector

Australian company Mint Wireless is claiming their Mint V10 is the smallest commercial pocket projector in the world. At 125 x 55 x 23 mm, this bulge in our pants means we are happy to see that, even while it means we will have to go to Sydney to get one. The aluminum and plastic sandwich has a 20,000-hour LED lamp which, according to them, doesn't need warming up. The company also says the $600 projector battery offers "hours" worth of viewing time at 640 x 480 pixels, either from your computer or using its SD card slot or 1GB of internal memory.

Oculon Hikari Pro920 Pocket Projector Debuts for $299

You never know when you might need to whip out a projector, and here's the smallest one you can buy so far, made by the Chinese company that calls itself Oculon. The 640x480 Hikari Pro920 is $299, giving you a 24-inch image from about a yard away, or a 12-inch picture from a foot away. If you're looking for a bit more resolution, you can get an 800x600 model for $399. These don't quite match up in tinytude to the cellphone-sized microprojector prototypes we've shown you before, but this might be the perfect size for some public bathroom stall porn.
