This new projector “ which is supposed to be available later this month “ lets you project iPhone video on screens up to 60 inches in size.
It ‘s called The iPod Video Projector and has an expected ship date of September 25, the same day that MMS fro AT&T is due (ruh-roh).
Here ‘s some more detail on the projector:
This is the pocket-sized device that projects a 60" image from an iPod, iPhone, or any video source with composite outputs. About the size of a candy bar, the unit projects bright, clear images and pivots up to 90º to display content on a wall or ceiling. The projector’s LED uses Digital Light Processing Technology–the same as digital cinema projectors–to produce sharp 480×320 resolution with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and a 3:2 aspect ratio. It has a manual focus dial, adjustable volume control for its 1/2-watt internal speaker, and a headphone jack for private listening. The projector’s rechargeable battery provides two hours of viewing time after a three-hour charge from the included AC adapter, or from a computer with the included USB cable.
The projector is priced at $379.95. Although this would be a very nice accessory to have, that price tag is very large if only video / images can be shared. But if this is one of those hardware accessories that fancy new OS 3.0 APIs can allow apps to interface with, then this strikes me as much more exciting. If apps can share the iPhone screen to the projector and run Keynote / Powerpoint presentations and similar, then this could be a hugely useful business and presentation tool.
While it ‘s certainly not a mainstream personal accessory at this price, I ‘m excited to see the full capabilities of this projector when it comes out, and even more so to see what apps may get developed around it.
