Dear gadget-makers,
As it seems, this is the final stage of development of the ultimate gadget. Please place this, a cellphone, a calculator, a color screen, and GPS into a wristwatch, and you will dominate the world. Also, I will buy two.
Now someone needs to come out with a pico screen so you can actually use it.
Unless, of course, you stay close to the walls.
Next evolution of the product will be femto projector.
Beware!
Housekeeper with the vacuumer is coming!
I am waiting until the yocto projector
the only specs I could find was that it could project up to a 60 inch screen, that it would cost 299€ and its brightness is 10 lumens... but what I would like to know is this:
how is it powered(battery?, usb?, own powercable?) how does it connect to mobile phone/neotebook? what's the resolution - contrast and etc.
See that BATT on the top center?
I can see the future, endless hours of projecting all sorts of material in class on the walls. Excellent. ;-)
Looks like the unholy union between a braun shaver and a flask... or maybe a zippo lighter.
That's a pencil sharpener. You know, the type you take to school with you and you have to turn the pencil manually and you have to make sure you press it against the blade in there or it doesn't get sharp.
Way to beat Maglite! Know you can watch Bonanza while finding your way back home.
*Now
Yes indeed... Thanks
10 lumens? They're obviously not designing this for daytime usage...
Combine this with a netbook and have a sweet little projecting package.
This one's better: http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/02/microvision-to-launch-pocket-sized-projector-at-ces-2008/
The Microvision one is brighter and smaller, and you don't have to manually focus it everytime you move, unlike the Toshiba/TI version.
yeah, i want the laser based one though. the led ones are ho-hum. lasers are way way brighter and you don't have to focus them like pentagon pointed out above
"Let's make it oval, that way it'll never have a straight non-wobbling picture when you put it down!"
I get it now, by making the comments slow to appear people hit refresh 10 times and they have 10 times as many hits so alexa tell the advertisers engadget is so immensely popular.
or it could be all the refreshes that cause the comments to become slow because the system gets overloaded.
Excuse my off-topic musings.
I posted my video of the Toshiba pocket projector, interviewing the product manager at: http://techvideoblog.com/ifa/toshiba-pocket-led-projector-at-ifa-2008/
I guess I don't really get all of this pocket projector stuff. I mean if your going to be giving some kind of a presentation don't people generally gather in someplace where there is a projector, tv or some other kind of display already present? Unless your some sort of gumshoe salesman trying to unload your wares in some sort of a public venue with power point or youtube viddies.. err
