Honlai's QingBar MP101 iPhone projector makes us want more
Looks like Honlai had more than one mini-projector on display at Computex. The MP101 is capable of throwing a 15- to 27-inch display form your iPhone or iPod touch in a 4:3 aspect ratio. Unfortunately, we're talking just 10-15 lumens and a 200:1 contrast. Still, it'll do for a quick and dirty LCoS jones. See a working prototype after the break.

Must have
4:3 only? Boring.
You're disappointed the 4:3 aspect ratio? I think the 200:1 contrast ratio is terrible.
how much?!
Please... No more comments about watching "pr0n" on a bigger screen (it's spelt "porn" btw. Learn to spell what you watch)
It's just not funny anymore
FALSE
FAIL!
Is that how it's spelt?
epic call from craig
hey, wot's wgron with my spellgin of pr0n?
I love watching pr0n on a big screen!
pr0n pr0n pr0n! I spell pr0n "pr0n" because I don't how it's spelled. I hope someone will teach me how to spell what I watch!
Jackass.
just grab your dick and double click!
4:3 only? And they released it? Guys seriously... you should have spent more time in R&D before rushing this out.
They must have run out of whinny bitch R&D money. :)
So does that* make you feel better about yourself?

* meaningless comments of mocking disagreement over a random topic many people share different opinions of.
Nice. Would this work for other phones too? Imagine in a few years where computers and laptops are obselete and you carry these things with you to effecitively create your screen anywhere. Now that's awesome!

I hope the Android and other phone platforms would take advantage of these devices as well. I'm an iPhone owner, so I guess I can't complain, but choices would be nice!
Well MANY companies are building phones with microprojectors in the phone itself...
Why are there video cables coming out of it? If the video is on the iPhone, and the iPhone is connected directly to the projector, shouldn't there only be a single power cable for the projector?
audio...
@Rakar:
There's 3 cables coming out of it: red, yellow, and white.
Red and Yellow are composite audio cables.
White is composite video.
Methinks Honlai were conning a few people in this presentation.
Yellow is composite video, red and white are audio
Oh you're right, now that I've looked closer it does look like there are three cables coming out of it. I thought there were only two at first. That's weird.
Maybe it's an adaptor for other devices.or and adaptor hookup for other Ipods.
probably hooked up to a DVD player for the demonstration as well. their site notes it has a mini av jack.
i don't think they're trying to pull a fast one or anything...
Taylor, how many of your machines give no picture and only produce a horrible buzzing sound?
A new world opens before you, my friend.
wait... you want a 27 inch image from a scaled down iphone/pod movie?
I don't know if it's a waste of money for more gadget that we don't need ! Poor market introduction efforts !
Ummm who the hell watches bottles on their iPhone?
Well, rule 34 you know.
Pretty bottles.
Oh noes! 2 iPhone stories in a row! Time to feel the wrath of the anti-fanbois!
They need to make one for us nano owners.
Well.. I assume it works for any iPod with a dock connector because every other iPod device that connects via dock is universal with the product? Or so I believe.
this will blend well.
If they run this off the iPhone why does it have AV cables hooked up?
Those seem to be audio output cables. Maybe it's just hooked up to a powered speaker system.
Enough with the bloody iPhone already!
Its way under spec compared to other handsets (e.g. N95) No MMS, no 5/8 mega pixel camera etc etc etc! It has the same specs as a nokia I had in 2002, 6 years ago!
There is a mini projector going to be built into the new samsung and other models in the comming months!
Whats the all the apple fanboys! Seriously!
this definately will be for little kids who like to camp out in the woods and watch toy story 2 in there 3 foot tents untill its beddy bye time. very cute, very cool, but not for adults.
