The percentage of returned gadgets that have nothing wrong with them.
Of the $13.8 billion worth of returned products in 2007, only 5 percent were because gadgets were actually broken, according to a 2008 study.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
I like it, it can only get better...
makes me wanna hack my own with a micro linux board. mmmmmm
Beagleboard or Gumsticks Overo :D
Its still missing something.. humm. LASER projector keyboard. :D
Now this is good tech!
What does the scouter say about his power level?
That is a nice little device.
i dunno, its under 9000 lumens
Pico projectors are I think usually around 20 or 30 lumen aren't they.
whoosh

None of these pocket projectors look....pocketable.
jeez the guy's annoying, give her a second to answer questions!
can't you see she doesn't speak english properly?
Which makes me wonder is he speaking english in China or he she selling a product here without being able to speak english?
something's wrong either way...
Very nice idea btw, needs to be developed a bit.
inflight laptop?
If you want to be "that guy" that's illuminating the entire coach cabin at night with you little projector while you play space invaders :)
It's adorable, and a little more elegant than the smartphones we've seen with built in projectors, but also far less functional. Of course you can't beat the price with a smartphone. Personal verdict: Approval
2 and a half years ago at CeBIT 2007, I filmed a demo from a company called Yahsin where they would also have pen input technology that could be compatible with such a pico projector: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ranHwK9d7c
And a year and a half ago at CeBIT 2008 I filmed the Celluon laser keyboard technology http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jz6l2qZ6sQ\
So imagine an Android powered pico projector, with a lense or mirror system that projects a 17" screen on-table with finger and pen touch recognition using small detectors like the Celluon laser keyboard or using technology in the pen like Yahsin, I think that would be pretty a pretty awesome large screen pocket computer system.
I think it's $1080.
I think it's $1080.
Nice technology :)
I want a smartphone that can do this, a touchscreen would make a good touchpad, it already has speakers, all it needs is a built-in projector.
The concept may not be new, but I'm impressed on how China turned this into reality. If enough quantity is made and sold, the price will drop.
mann i miss guangzhou
i wish i was back there, i gota save more money and get back to china!
i love you guangzhou
Anyone know the specs of the pc inside?
Thats a great idea. Darling little device.......
So the standard GPS unit hardware with an projector, so the projector is about $100 now eh, good idea to combine the two.
