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 640×360 pico projector built right in. No word on price or availability yet, though. [Engadget]
I just don’t see Apple announcing a multimedia projector dock for the iPhone/iPod anytime soon, but in my imaginary world where Jobs and I sit together eating cucumber sandwiches every afternoon, he’s birthed me one.
Admit it – there’s not a single thing on this planet you want more than a pocket sized projector. You want the freedom to broadcast your porn collection powerpoint presentations to the world whether they’re interested or not via the wonders of a low resolution low powered portable device. Well, 3M knows this, and are releasing the MPro110 in Australia for the paltry asking price of $649!
Guess which version is the second gen DLP Pico projector. (Hint: It’s the smaller one on the right that’s better in every way.)
This Miseal mini projection cube measures less than 3-inches per side, but it still manages to create a 112-inch image within a 5 metre throwing distance.
This currently Korea-only projector mobile phone peeped up its head at CES, and now our friends at PopSci had a chance to play with the Show and its 10-lumen built-in DLP projector.

The CV-MP01 shares a lot with some other mobile projectors we’ve seen—namely from 3M—but measures up at a stunningly small 40x57x59mm and 90 grams.

It appears that Konica Minolta will take mini-projector one-upsmanship to the next level with a new device that measures about 4cm long, 2cm wide, and only .76cm thick—roughly the size of a smallish thumbdrive. When all is said and done, Konica believes that this new projector will be able to throw 20-inch colour images in XGA resolution at distances of about 20 24-inches away from the screen and use less than 1-watt of power while operating. Unfortunately, the device will not be ready for public consumption for another 2 or 3 years, which opens up the door for another company to one-up their one-up.
