Mitsubishi LED Projector: Small, Cheap, Durable

Posted by timothy on from the what-tim's-been-waiting-for dept.

mcaycedo writes "This new projector is my top number 1 "must have" gadget. The reasons: price (US$699), size (fit in your hand), convenience (uses AC, batteries, card adaptor) and duration (lamp life:20000 hours). The cons: only SVGA (800x600), lumens (N/A)" There are tons of applications for a LED projector of this size, too: in cars, integrated into portable video players, information displays of all kinds ... and as resolution and brightness improve, even more will emerge.

    Hmm. I have $699 to burn...
    Do I buy a LED projector, or a SCO license?

    but what if you mounted one on your dashboard, and followed a semi with a nice white door..

    with a little fm transmitter, you could even share the monotony breaker with neighboring cars..

    watch a DVD on a cross country trip?

    whoa fred- screens getting big! better brake!

    I'm curious what other number 1 "must have" gadgets are on your list.

    but how exactly is that useful in a car?

    I think it would be really useful. While you drive, you can now:

    Watch the projector,

    Comb your hair,

    Change the Radio Station,

    Talk on the mobile phone, AND

    Flip off the moron that just cut you off.

    All at the same time.

    Who cares about size?

    Apparently, you've never heard of the Law of Geek Chic:

    The goal of all electronic devices is to eventually become a choking hazard.

    How else are you going to watch TV on your cell phone?

    I've got an alarm clock radio that could play MP3s, and it has a 19-inch monitor.
