Mint's V10 mini projector gets price and release date

Wait, who's this Mint character anyway? Ah, yes -- that Australian firm that hires Aiptek to do at least some of its dirty work. The V10 mini projector that we spotted earlier this year has been blessed with an official price and release date, promising a VGA beam in the palm of your hand for around $600 this September. As a refresher, you'll get 1GB of internal storage, a microSD expansion slot and a woefully inadequate 60 minutes of battery life. But hey, it's ridiculously small.

They need to add those projectors to cellphones and laptops and PDAs, those MP5-esque players are a bit useless IMHO.

E90 with a projector = Awwright.

They are already working on that!

You can look at this article http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=526&doc_id=158455&f_src=flffour

They talk about how some researchers are looking to display information on your CONTACT LENSES!, and they also present information about pico projectors and some other technologies.

60 minutes?
isn't it just a tiny-ass screen with a bright-ass backlight?

[avester @ Aug 1st 2008 10:34AM]

No, that's called a display. D-I-S-P-L-A-Y.

[Benson @ Aug 1st 2008 10:36AM]

No, it's a tiny ass-screen with a bright ass-backlight.

you should've waited to avoid double posting

I've sat through presentations that I wish the battery life was only 60 minutes...

[jason51873 @ Aug 1st 2008 10:46AM]

$600 ROFLMAO

I don't think so. $200 MAYBE...

[averyking @ Aug 1st 2008 10:47AM]

I've sat through presentations that would have been much better if the battery life of the projector was only 60 minutes....

I thought the image said "Australia's smallest pocket _protector_". Honestly, I felt disappointed when I realized I had misread :(

[Carl Vitullo @ Aug 1st 2008 11:33AM]

yeah, i had the same problem the first time, i wondered how a tiny pocket protector would actually be useful :P

Inadequate? I think a 60 minute presentation time is much longer than you could ever need in the spur of the moment while walking down the street, amazing the public with your power point skills.

it's obvious they'll have to try harder to get the official Windbag stamp of approval
