While it likely won't hold onto the (slightly dubious) title for long at the rate mini-projectors are cropping up these days, Hong Kong-based Earth Trek has nonetheless gone out and proclaimed its new 90-805R projector to be the "world's smallest" and, indeed, it is small. Measuring about 4 by 2 inches, the projector can apparently pump out a 22-inch diagonal image (no word from what distance), with an SD card slot and an A/V input provided via a 3.5 mm jack, not to mention a built-in speaker. No word on a price or release date just yet, but we'd assume they'd want to get it out relatively soon in order to beat the inevitable cellphone projector rush.
I want this...
But how much are the bulb replacements?That's the dealbreaker
Dunno for sure, but I'm guessing it's LED, so "bulbs" aren't really much of an issue.
I bet this eats batteries like theres no tomorrow!
@Blaine
bah.... I think that 4AA Batteries with 2500mAH each will get you through 1-2 hours of usage easily...
LEDs with more than 15 Watts being rare as they are.
should click the read link prior to posting.... included battery really gives you 1-2 hours of use.
NICE
Now I can project porn onto the walls in my bathroom.
Its like actualy being there.
We, here, are pathetic beings.
Or maybe project a supermodel on a less-than-satisfactory mate?
Way to show how tiny this thing is.. with a completely scaleless photo..
4 inches by 2 inches...how difficult is that to imagine?
Yes, im aware of that, but a picture is supposed to say a thousand words...
"How difficult is that to imagine?" - Quite a bit, for those of us who have used the metric system since the start
Sorry...didn't realize being trained on the metric system left you unable to do simple arithmetic. 2 * 2.54 = 5.08 cm.
If 5 cm is difficult for you to imagine, look in your pants.
"If 5 cm is difficult for you to imagine, look in your pants."
LOL!
owch
Heh, and a built in speaker. I'm sure the sound quality is awesome.
Cute though.
By the looks of it, I bet the sound quality is about on par with the image quality ;)

Can be purchased on ebay and other located., The company stopped making them just last month. Perhaps they have a newer version with brighter LEDS? It was rated at 20k hours no word on replacement bulbs. They were designed as throwaway units with "lifetime bulbs"
22 inch is small for projector...
I know the thing is small but if I bring it to school went we make team meeting an 22 inch screen is small.
wait... 22-inch diagonal... let me think...
I think I will wait to see video before judging
That's not small. This is small:

Oh Brad,
is that a mini-projector in your pocket?
...or are you just happy to see me?
Nobody wonders why it does not mention resolution?
I guess, because its something terrible unusable, like 160x120 or something. Like that the other SD micro projector recently announced on engadget.
They are probably just trying to trick some idiots who believe this will be a decent projector. Seen people buying similar junk on ebay for a horrendous prices.
