Pico projector with added swivel
Posted on August 14th, 2009
The iPhone seems to be a hot target for pocket projectors at the moment. The new Cineman Swivel projector comes with cables for iPhone and iTouch. It’s other feature is a little less obviously a winner - it can bend in half, apparently so you can project onto the ceiling or prop it up without needing a tripod.
It is available for pre-order in the USA and Europe now. See more details at Computer Shopper.

The race has been on to produce phones with built-in nmicro projectors recently, but this is a new move. A pocket camera with a projector that can throw an image from 5in to 40in in size. It is a decent camera in its own right too - 12.1 MP and 5x optical zoom.

Portable projection, but not pocket-sized
Posted on August 6th, 2009
The term “portable projectors” is used by a lot of manufacturers to refer to LCD projectors that are smaller than traditional projectors, but still not something you would want to lug around with you on the off-chance that you need it.
In Top 7 DLP or LCD Projectors Under 7 Pounds there is a good overview of some of these lightweight projectors. As the article states:
If you need to lug your LCD or DLP projector around to make presentations in a variety of locations, you know there’s a huge difference between a projector that weighs ten pounds and one that weighs four. But can a lightweight portable projector still provide the presentation quality needed for boardrooms, classrooms and home theaters? Yes! Here are the best portable LCD projectors and DLP projectors. All weigh less than seven pounds, but are still packed with features to make any presentation shine.
I still think that truly pocket-sized projectors are the game-changers in this market, but if you need to deliver high quality presentations to a big group, this review could help you choose the ideal projector.
