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?'"

    That's why they called it a Pocket Projector rather than a Home Theater Projector.

    Actually, as another poster pointed out, what is groundbreaking is that this is the first uber-small projector to actually be "for sale". As I understand it, all the other "small" projectors are expensive prototypes used in large corporate peeing contests at trade-shows.

    Chevy Volt anyone?

    Actually, the ideal while camping is to have no electronics at all apart from a cellphone for emergencies only. IMHO, that is.
