Cinemin mini projectors by spring

Monday, Jan. 12 2009 | Author: Jim

It seems that the mini-projector industry is heating up on several developments this first quarter of 2009. Now these are welcome innovations may I add to personal entertainment counting the fact that while full-sized projectors are relatively below the thousand mark, it still is to some a little expensive and bulky to use.

Case in point of how things are moving is the development of the Cinemin stick, swivel and base. You’d notice from the picture above that they are well suited to be used with your iPod Touch or your iPhones. Perfect for the salesman on-the-go. It’s your instant presentation literally pulled out of your hat/box/or backpack.

Cinemin swivel (sells for $299) is a device that allows you to project to a wall or cieling (huh?). Cinemin stick is your pocket projector AND Cinemin base is where you dock your iPhone, iPod touch or your laptops.

Taking projection out of boardrooms and movie theaters and into the palm of your hand is WowWee’s Cinemin™ suite of ultra-portable multimedia micro projectors, powered by Texas Instruments’ DLP Technology for ultra clear picture quality. Utilizing the same technology commonly found in high-definition TVs, classroom projectors and large-scale cinema houses, the Cinemin projectors have been designed to work with popular mobile devices, such as the Apple® iPod and iPhone®. With WowWee’s Cinemin™ suite of projectors, a café becomes a boardroom, a camping tent becomes a theater, and Grandma’s curtains become a life-size digital picture frame.

Does it work with your game machines (Playstation 3, XBox or the Wii), natively NO… for now, until some smart guy develops a cable to convert cables going to and fro Cinemin.

Cinemin Swivel, Stick and Base will be available this Spring 2009, check out this page for more details.
