WowWee Technologies (a division of that same company that makes Robopets, Robosapiens and other popular robot toys) has announced their Cinemin suite of ultra-portable multimedia micro projectors. These projectors--which fit in the palm of our hand to go anywhere--feature Texas Instruments' DLP Technology inside for a clear picture, at 480 x 320 resolution.
Designed to work with popular handy sources devices like the iPod and iPhone, Cinemin projectors can project video or a photo slide show large enough to share, quickly, simply and in unusual locations: the ceiling of a bedroom, the side of a tent, a hotel room wall, and more.
The Cinemin "Swivel" pico projector ($299) is the most affordable of the three models and is extremely lightweight, about as big as a Snickers and boasting three-hour battery life on movie watching. There's a volume control and a 90-degree hinge for overhead projection. The Cinemin "Stick" (mmm...) pico projector ($349) adds its own internal memory plus the benefit of an SD card slot for even more storage for your favorite videos and photos.
