3M Launches First Pocket Projector 187
An anonymous reader writes "Popsci.com has a writeup on 3M's new pocket projector, the 3M MPro 110, set to launch on September 30. 'In a dark room, it could project a big enough image to be the ultimate cheap-o home theater. The projector will sell for a mere $359. It doesn't have a speaker, so you'll have to get that separately. But really, how good could a microscopic speaker jammed into this thing sound, anyway?'"

a lollipop with a Batman projector built-in, in case one has the need to summon the Caped Crusader. I saw it at 7-11.

I tried showing one of my female colleagues my pocket projector.
Anyone hiring?

Who needs sound when you project goatse from your cellphone on a crowded bus?
Who needs a projector when you can setup a wifi hotpoint with everything redirected to a local cache of goatse.

We've had them for a long, long time.

I know! 350 bucks and I STILL have ink on my shirt!
That'll teach me to glance at the subject line.

3M pocket protectors have been with us for many years. To make one, take the sleve from a 3M floppy (5-1/4in) and fold it in half. Fill the front with pens and the back with your calculator and you are all set.

I read it as "rocket projector", and I thought it was amazingly awesome. Like, a projector that flies across the room, shows a 1 second video, and then kills the C.F.O.

Yes. Electronics are small. That's hardly new.
Now, small speakers that don't suck, THAT would be new.
