Miniature projectors are starting to catch on, and here is a new one from Tokyo-based company Princeton. It’s pretty clear from the name Toyjector that this one is targeted at the younger crowd, or that it is just small at 50mm cubed.

It can produce images at 300 x 224 resolution with 100:1 contrast ratio and 5 lumens brightness. That might not sound too good for you, and the sound is a mere 1 Watt. At least it has a Tripod, and is available in red and white. The price is about $150, and it can be purchased in Japan or the Japan Trend shop, as well as Geek Stuff 4 U.

Just a quick update here — Sony has recently announced that they will be upping the capacity of their Memory Stick Pro Duo memory cards to a full 32GB.

While this product is marketed generally towards those looking to store large amounts of HD footage, I don’t see why you couldn’t slap a few documents (or whatever else you need) on there for easy storage.

While Yinlip probably isn’t the most well known of gadget manufacturers, they deserve to be upon seeing their offerings. like the one above, their latest PMP, the Projector MP5.

This device is somewhat unique in that is has the ability to project an 80″ image using its built in projector. Couple that with its 3.5″ screen and ability to play 64 bit games and you have yourself a winner.

Unfortunately, the chance of us ever seeing this hit stores outside of China remains slim to none. Perhaps a domestic manufacturer will pick up on the technology. Please?

How many times have you heard one of your colleagues saying that a certain BlackBerry saved his life? Well what if someone told you that a RIM handset was exactly the piece of mountain equipment needed to save a man from falling over 700 feet and most likely dying?

David Fitzherbert is the guy in question. He was skiing in Switzerland when he dropped for about 70 feet until he was finally trapped between two rocks thanks to its Berry in his breast pocket. That extra thickness saved him for continuing the drop towards an imminent death. Simply amazing! Not to mention that RIM can use a whole different selling pitch now: BlackBerry Saves Lives!

From now on remember to pack your smartphone whenever you’re going on vacation, no matter what your friends tell you. And no matter if you’re not going to have good reception!

Yesterday we showed you the 557 x 234 resolution touting, $670+ price tag sporting iJector iPhone projector and shrugged it off as nothing more than an overpriced peripheral.

Well, the MiLi Pro iPhone projector isn’t much better, but it definitely is better. This LED projector will feature a 640×480 resolution, and the ability to project an image up to 70 inches. However, the manufacturers don’t recommed above 40 inches but with its 10 lumens you’re probably going to want to go much lower.

The MiLi Pro laso features VGA and RCA inputs along with an iPhone dock connector and is expected to ship sometime in September.

Like the 2730 Classic, the Nokia 2720 Fold is also an affordable low-ender that packs the same punch in a flip phone form factor.  The handset has 3G support and has a host of other business applications to go with it, including email support, calendar, and filesharing capabilities.  Email can supposedly be activated in three simple steps and Nokia Life Tools makes an appearance here too.  If you are looking for a great-looking cell phone without the heavy price tag, the Nokia 2720 Fold fits the bill in that aspect too, with its mirror finish and its stylish clamshell design.  Look for it drop in the third quarter of 2009 at a throwaway price of 55 Euros ($74).

Projectors come in all shapes and sizes but apparently we have seen a lot of them in mobile devices. And to ensure that people equally enjoy such a feature and innovation, RealID brings the power of 3D to the small screen.

The world’s first mobile, single-projector, passive 3D solution, the RealD LP brings the vibrancy of high-quality 3D to smaller venues such as conference rooms, R&D centers, museum exhibits, mobile education centers, virtual rides and other entertainment attractions. Designed to be set up for individual 3D presentations in minutes, or permanently mounted for long term use, the RealD LP allows the flexibility of switching between 2D and 3D on the fly while alleviating maintenance and other issues of dual-projector 3D systems.

The RealD LP is an externally mounted peripheral for a single 3D-enabled DLP projector, with electronic controls conveniently integrated inside the device. When 3D content is fed to the projector in full-resolution, frame-sequential format, the RealD LP allows content to be seen in 3D by polarizing right- and left-eye images. Viewers wear comfortable, affordable and reusable RealD eyewear custom built for the LP.

Suitable for screens up to 17 feet wide, the RealD LP works with 3D-enabled projectors such as NEC NC800, Christie Mirage HD, and Lightspeed Design HD DepthQ, along with a silver screen from Harkness, MDI or Stewart.

The RealD LP is available for lease through the company’s Professional division.

We have seen a couple of phones come out with integrated picoprojectors as added features to new mobile phones today and apparently this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Based on forecasts made by In-Stat, the market for picoprojectors is expected to exceed $1.1 billion within the next five years.

Recent research by In-Stat found the following:

• Illumination technologies continue to develop with vendors offering both LED and laser. Green laser is a critical development area.
• Projector module economies of scale will expand the market for embedded picoprojectors to lower-priced cellphones and media players in the near future.
• Among companies offering picoprojectors include 3M, Displaytech, Foxxcon, Light Blue Optics, Oculon, Optoma, Microvision, Toshiba, and TI.

The research, “Embedded Picoprojectors Ready To Break Out Worldwide”, covers the worldwide market for picoprojectors. It includes:

• Market shipments, attach rates and five-year forecasts for products using picoprojector modules: cellphones, computing devices, personal media players, digital cameras, digital camcorders, and accessory projectors.
• Worldwide picoprojector module shipments and revenue forecasts.
• Analysis of competing illumination technologies (LED, laser) as well as MEMS and liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) displays.
• Profiles of key technology vendors.

Yes, you heard me right people. It’s a phone that can project stuff on your wall. Or it’s a projector that takes messages. Depending on how you want to put it. Come to think of it, you might also use it as a fancy flashlight.

Getting back to hard, cold facts, the Samsung W7900 will get you a 480 x 320 resolution DLP projector, a 3.2-inch 400 x 240 OLED touchscreen, a 5 megapixel with LED flash and Samsung’s widget-based touch OS. We have no pricing yet and we have some bad news too. The projector might only be available for Korea which means you might have a really hard time getting it. Nothing is certain yet, so we’ll come back with more info for you later on.

Most mobile phones today come equipped with capturing video. But rather than upload them to your computer for viewing, there is a handy device that allows you to share that captured video on any nearby surface in an instant.

The Samsung MP200 Pico Projector can be connected to any mobile device which can eventually project any video that Samsung phone owners want to share.

“In addition, users can easily transfer files and project content independent of an attached source via the microSD card slot. The MBP200 has a simple shape and design with touchpad controls on the right side of the device for easy navigation and a 2.2-inch QVGA LCD screen which allow users to view content privately.”

We’ve heard about this mini projector all along. I mean we didn’t know that much but we know Dell had one on the pipe. The M109S is exactly the mini projector you were looking for.

We’ve seen our share of really small projectors and it’s Toshiba’s turn to release one. Their Pico projector is scheduled to be released sometime early next year. The official announcement is expected at the next CES. Toshiba’s Pico projector will be able to project a 60 inch screen despite being as big as a cell phone. You’d want one of those wouldn’t you?

If Facebook doesn’t have anymore secrets to you anymore, you must have discovered the LifeChangingBox FaceBook game promoted by Lowe New York a while ago. For about a month, from June to July people had to guess what the product inside the Life Changing Box was. And it proved to be Sharp. Some lucky winners went home with thousands of dollars worth in prizes. And that was just the begining of Sharp’s Life Changing promotion

As you can see in the video Sharp will continuously work to offer us a better LCD experience as they have quite a few years of LCD innovation. Besides that Sharp will work on including solar energy in their production lines so here’s another company thinking eco-friendly thoughts.

And since Sharp is the HDTV official of Major League Baseball you might want to try one of their LCD’s to get the full Olympic action coming from China starting tomorrow. Any sports action will certainly run smoothly on a Sharp LCD.

Now I am only sorry for not getting that much Sharp Facebook time… Not that I would have ever guessed who was in the box!

Nippon Signal has just released its new pocket projector prototype. Just in time to battle Mint’s V10 or Dell’s projector. This projector measures only 90 x 55 x 20mm and it uses a MEMS scanner to project images at 800 x 600 SVGA resolution.

Nippon Signal had a prism lens made especially for this gadget as it appears that advanced optics make possible such a small sized projector. From what I see so far the V10 seems like a better choice, but hey, I didn’t get my presentations on any of them and I don’t even know what Dell has been up too. Nippon’s pocket projector is yet to be released. Hopefully by the time it will hit retailers, projected image quality will be significantly improved.

Optoma, the leader in projector technology, has announced its plans to bring out the first Pico projector based on a DLP Pico chip in the latter part of 2008. The projector will be on display in the ongoing InfoComm 2008 even in Las Vegas at stall #C909. European and Asian markets will first be targeted with worldwide availability later on in 2009. We have already seen what the CKing projector phone is capable of, so it remains to be seen whether integrated projectors or standalones which are smaller/roughly the same size of a cell phone is the way to go. Either way, we definitely like the idea of carrying a mini-theater around with us!

Here’s an all leather black keyboard. Nothing wrong with that, after all we’ve seen keyboards made of glass right?

What’s particular about this keyboard is the lack of any letters of symbols. Isn’t that cool? Yes it is if your typing skills are great and your memory is good enough to remember where all those punctuation marks are placed. Being efficient with this keyboard is actually harder then you might think. Sure it’s cool and it’s made out of leather but that’s about all it can do. Are there any other colors available?
