Explay announces new oio companion LED nanoprojector
We've already seen plenty of oio iterations from Explay, but apparently this here "oio companion" is the real deal, and it'll be shown off at Mobile World Congress next week. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean we're getting any solid price or release details just yet, pretty much this new render is all. The mobile nanoprojector uses hybrid laser and LED light sources, and features an "always in focus" capability, low power consumption and an "affordable price." According to Explay, customers and carriers are currently being polled for input on the commercial rollout, so be sure to let Explay know in the comments how excellent of a pricepoint $5 would be. You can thank us later, Explay.
Explay's QVGA oio micro-projector shown at CEATEC
Explay's oio nanoprojector has been on our radar for some time, and regrettably, it's still no closer to actually launching. According to Noam Zur, Vice President of Business Development for the company, the second-generation oio "will be commercialized in 2008 to 2009," which is a bit later than we had previously hoped. Nevertheless, the prototype shown was indeed battery powered, could fit in one's palm and offered up a QVGA (320 x 240) resolution. Additionally, it was stated that the "target power consumption is one-watt," and while the outfit would love to one day cram these things into mobile device, it'll be marketed as a standalone device at first.
Explay intros oio nanoprojector, plans to launch in 2008
Explay is apparently trying to ensure that its micro-projector doesn't become just one of the crowd, as it's trying to outdo the competition by showing off its oio at SID 2007. While we'd seen offerings from Explay before and even heard whispers of a 2007 launch, it looks like it'll be next year before the oio hits the hands of the general public. Nevertheless, the firm was off parading its accomplishment in Long Beach, California, dubbing its minuscule PJ the "first truly mobile and fully operational nano-projector." Of course, we're sure more than a few outfits would love to disagree on that very point, but Explay went on to praise the oio's ability to function in a variety of locales from a "dimly lit bar to a bright office." Notably, it sounds like the company will be aiming for more dollars than those held by mere gadget freaks, as the oio marketing team will be targeting "medical, security, and even artistic" fields whenever Explay can get these things out of the door.
