Optoma EP-PK-101 PICO Pocket Projector

1 Comment / Computers, Gizmo of the Day, Portable / By /

The Optoma PICO Pocket Projector connects to the iPod, iPhone and iTouch with included bundled connection kit as well as camcorders, DV-Cams, digital cameras, DVD players and other video players. The only gotcha is that the PICO will not connect to a notebook computer, PC, PDA, cell pone or other device unless the device has composite output. Using DLP Pico technology, the projector can display up to 60 inches using a LED light source.

With the PICO, you can carry your projector wherever you are for work or perhaps a movie night out on the back porch. Using an iPhone or iPod you can have an instant theater on the go.

LG eXpo GW820 smartphone can turn into a projector

Gizmo of the Day, Phones, Portable / By /

LG expo cellWe don’t feature a lot of cell phones on GfG because there are entirely too many models and there are other sites that are dedicated to just that. But of course we feature the ‘big name’ ones and the newsworthy and unique.

The LG eXpo GW820 definitely fits the newsworthy category, as it’s the first handset to feature (an optional) snap-on pico projector. Yes, a projector, like the expensive ones you have in the office to show off those mind-numbing PowerPoint presentations on how badly your company is doing.

The (did we mention optional) projector weighs only 1.8 ounces and is small enough to fit into the palm of your hand, and can project an image up to 40″ in size. Not bad. However, it does kill the phone’s battery pretty quickly, so you’ll probably end up using the conventional office projector for long presentations/demos.

The phone itself is a slider with a full QWERTY keyboard, a 3.2″ touchscreen, 3G connectivity on AT&T, a 5MP camera, 802.11b/g WiFi, microSD card slot and runs Windows Mobile.

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj – digital camera with a built-in projector

3 Comments / Cameras and Photo, Gizmo of the Day / By /

Nikon has a new take on point-and-shoot digital cameras: it’s one with a built-in projector. Yes, that means you don’t need to upload your pictures to a large-screen monitor or plug into a TV. Just point your camera at the nearest wall and share with everyone.

The Nikon Coolpix S1000pj is the world’s first such digital camera. It is a 12.1 Megapixel camera with a 5x wide-angle Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens, a 5-way VR image stabilization system and a 2.7″ LCD screen.

And the projector? It can project 10″ to 6’6″ away, with VGA-equivalent resolution to produce images up from 5″ to 40″ large. Not too shabby. Battery life is about an hour, which is not too long to start boring everyone. Amazon has a nice video of this camera in action.

The S1000pj is a bit pricey, but that usually comes with being 1st to the table. But to be fair, it has a slew of features that are usually found in more advanced point-and-shoots.
