It would appear that the ever-growing pico-projector market got a little more competition with the Sparkz. Sparkz is compatible with the iPod (provided it has video capability), iPod Touch, iPhone (it will charge it too), console games, camcorder, PSP, DVD players, media players, as well as laptops and computers. It has a 60-inch viewing area with 640 x 480 resolution, not to mention stereo speakers and a tripod.

The cost might be a little high at $495, but I don’t know any pico projectors that are compatible with all the things I mentioned above without requiring some sort of sold-separately adapter. There’s a video of the Sparkz in action after the jump.

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.

I have to admit that the cellphone in the picture here is certainly an interesting concept. The LG Burst is a projector cellphone which could replace current netbooks in certain ways. As you can see the phone acts as a simple touchscreen phone but things can get a lot more complicated if you so desire. The Burst should come equipped with features like motion sensors and pico projectors which would be able to lay in front of you a screen comparable in size to the displays found in current or future netbooks and tablets. Other features would include a touch-sensitive keyboard, support for video conferences, HD capabilities and various media editing tools, and last but no least, features that would help the deaf and hearing impaired make the most of the phone. We have no prices and availability dates just yet as this is just a concept for now.

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?

Nikon’s new digital camera, the COOLPIX S1000pj, actually has a built-in projector. It’s the world’s first camera to have such a feature. The projector is able to render 640×480 at 30 frames per second. Built-in software allows you to add slideshow themes and such straight from your phone. Included with the projector is a speaker to playback any recorded audio.

Besides the innovatory project, the COOLPIX S1000pj will capture 12-megapixel images, use a 2.7 inch LCD and offer 5x optical zoom. Expect it to be out in stores this September for $429.95.

The S-Vision phone in the picture here is still a concept. And like most concept phones these days it’s trying to impress the audience. So what does this handset do besides taking calls and running some applications? The S-Vision doubles as a projector phone as it comes with a special swiveling lens on the side. The phone can be used for presentations on the go and we presume it comes with plenty of smartphone-like features and most importantly a great battery to support all that. When will such a phone be available? You’ll be among the first ones to know!

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.

At first glance the 50-inch projecting iJector may look like a dream come true — Just dock your iPod or iPhone, boot up a video and you’ll have a 50-inch projection of it on a wall (or other surface of your choosing).

The bummer, however, is that those 50-inchs will have a resolution of 557 x 234, and an even bigger bummer, the iJector will cost $670+ when it hits Japan next month.

If you don’t have an iPhone or iPod you can still use the iJector by hooking it up to some composite video inputs, but what’s the fun in that?

One more slider is coming to AT&T and that’s the LG Monaco. Its specs include a 3.2-inch WVGA touchscreen, a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera, a full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, microSDHC support and HSDPA connectivity.

The Monaco sounds a lot better than the Pantech Aladdin doesn’t it? And the Monaco will come with a Pico projector and it will run Windows Mobile 7. That means you’ll probably have to wait about a year to get your hands on it.

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 all know the mobile phone pico projectors took the mobile world by storm when they initially came out at the Consumer Electric Show last January. But what we did not see were the phones which had the actual pico projectors embedded on them. However Samsung Electronics, together with Texas instruments, officially announced that technology with the new Samsung models - the I7410 for the European market and the W7900 for the Korean market.

Building upon the recent excitement and momentum generated at the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show in January, the Samsung projector phones can project content with flexible image sizes much larger than traditional phone screens.

Images in excess of 50-inches are possible depending on ambient light conditions. Featuring a lightweight and compact design, the Samsung phones provide the complete mobile office and entertainment solution.

Features:

Multiple applications that can be enhanced by the projection feature: Sharing Powerpoint Slides, Viewing Email Attachments, Viewing pictures, Watching videos, and even using the projection feature as a Flashlight

DLP Pico(TM) chipset technology

5.0-megapixel camera

High-resolution color OLED touchscreen

Intuitive flick navigation to view presentations and photo slideshows

Ultra-contemporary sleek and lightweight design

Built-in audio speakers

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.

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.

Don’t you just love it when employees get careless and leak pictures and details of secret products? Well I do. And this time we are talking about a Pocket Projector from Dell which, of course, isn’t released yet.

This projector is really tiny and it would probably fit inside that coffee mug. It measures about 1.1 pounds and it’s a really portable solution. Match it with a Dell-E and go about your presentation with no problems. We don’t know all the specs and we’d sure be curious about availability and pricing.
