3M Launches First Pocket Projector

Posted by kdawson on from the gadget-holy-grail dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Popsci.com has a writeup on 3M's new pocket projector, the 3M MPro 110, set to launch on September 30. 'In a dark room, it could project a big enough image to be the ultimate cheap-o home theater. The projector will sell for a mere $359. It doesn't have a speaker, so you'll have to get that separately. But really, how good could a microscopic speaker jammed into this thing sound, anyway?'"

    a lollipop with a Batman projector built-in, in case one has the need to summon the Caped Crusader. I saw it at 7-11.

      Am I the only person to have read that as "Pocket Protector"?

      I read it as "rocket projector", and I thought it was amazingly awesome. Like, a projector that flies across the room, shows a 1 second video, and then kills the C.F.O.

    Er, 3M makes rocket fuel? Definitely news for nerds.

    Oh, wait. That was pocket projectors. I'm sorry. I was only off by one consonant.

      Who needs a projector when you can setup a wifi hotpoint with everything redirected to a local cache of goatse.

    We've had them for a long, long time.

    I know! 350 bucks and I STILL have ink on my shirt!

    That'll teach me to glance at the subject line.
