Aiptek joins the fold with PocketCinema V10 mini-projector

If there are two things Aiptek knows, it's cheap and small. Along with Foxconn and Honlai, Aiptek is introducing a pocket-sized projector over in Taipei, and it's being eloquently dubbed the PocketCinema V10. Reportedly, the device taps 3M's miniature projection technology to shoot up a 50-inch image, and if you don't have a bona fide source laying around, it can still entertain guests by reading from the 1GB of internal memory or 3-in-1 multicard reader. Furthermore, it packs a built-in battery and stereo speakers, but unfortunately, we can't tell you where or when you'll be able to purchase one of these unpriced wonders.

O.o That is kinda sorta cool, I kinda want one just so I can watch things on the go....

I must admit, that is very cool.
Would be great for showing people clips when i'm on the move as apposed to everyone crowding round my iPod

Goodness... IF you see the "uuiU" at the end of a YT video, don't open it!

Good one. LOL I rickrolled the pool hall the other night as I was walking out and someone foolishly left an unused credit on the jukebox.

[SimonRichards @ Jun 5th 2008 7:27PM]

Now that is a nice design. Something I might actually buy.

Any word on the lumens and resolution?

It would be nice to see a real picture and not just a crappy photoshop...

The key here is battery life. 3M uses LED technology for the light source, and these are fairly power-hungry. Using a cell-phone size battery, the lifetime of the projector would be less than one hour (I used to work for a company who tested 3M's technology and decided to work with Microvision's laser-based technology instead).

[BatteryAcid @ Jun 5th 2008 9:28PM]

looks pretty sick. I could see these becoming a hit. If it has decent battery life and resolution and is sub $300 i'd buy one (if i had the $). Knowing Apitek it should be fairly cheap.

So what! Microsoft Surface has FIVE GODDAMN PROJECTORS count them, FIVE!!!!


:p

I look forward to seeing you walking around with Microsoft's surface in your pocket....

[happy_penguin @ Jun 6th 2008 9:57AM]

Good god it was a joke. I thought it was funny.

Anyone whose been around these parts for a while knows what it means. :D
