Before you spring for a pricey, bulky, fragile projector, check out what’s coming next month: the 3M MPro110, a projector that’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
The lucky folks at Popular Science got a sneak peek at the MPro110; here’s a sampling of what they had to say about it:
The MPro110 is pretty basic looking on the outside—just a grey box. But it gets the job down. A VGA input lets you plug in a laptop; and the composite video jack will take output from a digital camera, PSP, iPod, iPhone, or most any handheld device (though video-out is still pretty rare on cellphones). A thumbwheel on the front allows you to focus.
Oh, heavens, my beanie propeller is spinning madly for this thing. PopSci says the MPro110 will go on sale September 30 for $359. It remains to be seen, of course, if it can really fill the shoes of a traditional business projector. But as a conversation piece and super-friendly travel companion, it’s definitely a winner.
