Micro projector connects to iPhone
The new DLP Pico projector from Texas Instruments is being billed as the world’s smallest/lightest projector. Its dimensions are a svelte (51 × 105 × 17-mm / 120g) but what’s even cooler is that it can be connected to an iPhone possibly cementing it as a true notebook killer. Just connect it to your iPhone or iPod and the white LED can project a 60-inch, 480 x 320 image up to 8.5 feet away.
It comes with an integrated 0.5 watt speaker, dock connector and runs for about two hours on a charge. According to a story (with video) at iPhone Alley the DLP Pico goes on sale in Japan on 01 December for around US$500.
Update: Engadget has a great picture of the Pico attached to an iPod.
