Ever since 3M started showing up the tiny Pico projector at a few tech conventions. There was even a rumor Motorola would add it to some of its cell phones, but 3M went a different route and will be introducing the first stand alone pocket projector at the end of the month. The tech enthusiasts over at Popular Science were among the first who got their hands on the MPro 110 mini projector, and they were impressed
Sean Captain says the pocket-sized device can project a discernable image up to 11 inches across even under bright fluorescent office lights. The small black and grey box has a VGA input, composite video jacks, and focus wheel but lacks a speaker so you’ll need to use the one on your laptop or portable gadgets.
It can clearly project an image that’s 640 x 480 on any surface, but according to POPSI, it looks best in a dark room where the image is big enough to create the ultimate cheap-o home theatre. The MPro 110 will be out September 30 and is expected to retail for $359.
I’m glad to finally see this pocket projector become a reality, although I’m not sure how many people will buy it at that price.
