Its a neat concept I suppose but the resolution and screen size it displays is too small for what its worth I think.

I read the specs a few days ago and was not very impressed by the max screen size, throw distance and the other important factors you need to look at when shopping for a projector.

Go big and get a real projector for just a few dollars more, if you want super small for just a few people in a room like they are trying to sell this as, wait longer as they already have projectors so small they can fit in a cell phone body.

 

Saw that a few days ago, its really cool how small they can get now.
What plugs do you think it has on the back? just vga and power, I doubt there are speakers on there.

Vicious: Its for people that need it on the go, where a standard projector cant be found and you just pull one out of your breifcase and voila, a screen for everyone to see. If not in great detail.

 

I know like I said I understand the concept but its not a real liable one. We have a dell projector at work thats just a bit bigger with its own little carry case that does so much more.

You cant just run into some group of people on the go and suddenly need a projector to show them all something, for meetings and expeditions you have plans, so you would setup something worthy.

You cant just plop this down anywhere anyways, you would need a place to plug it in, a suitable place to put it, and most probably a dark enough area and a suitable screen/wall to put it on.

For what it is, its overpriced. Its the concept thats selling it, not its practicality.

 

I agree 100%. It has been a long time coming but the first line of Projectors built into cell phones will be coming quite soon. Of course us in the US have the Cell Tech barrier but I can definately see within the next 4-5 years projectors being widely incorporated in cells. And for those looking for a standalone projector, even better for you. If they are feasible enough to be put in cells they will be very feasible as standalones

Just look at how much the Projector market has dropped in price the last couple of years. Things mature
