A few tiny pocket sized projectors have been seen around the trade shows over this last year. The latest one comes from 3M who are actually about to officially launch the product. The pocket projector is named the MPro110 mini Projector.

This mini projector will cost $359 when it is launched. It will require a fairly dark room for best quality as the power of this device isn’t the greatest which is to be expected of a projector that fits in to your pocket. Sound is also not available from the device, so external speakers will be required for watching movies.

The technology that runs this pocket projector is an LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) screen with the light being provided by LED. It is due to be launched later this month and 3M are expecting to see mobile phones with this technology built in by next year.

Mint Wireless, based in Australia, have created a very nice projector named Mint V10. This tiny pocket sized projector is designed to work with your mobile phone, PDA or UMPC and allows you to have access to a larger pocket sized screen.

The Mint V10 measures 125 x 55 x 23 mm and projects the picture by using an LED lamp which has a life of 20000 hours. The screen it is capable of projecting is 50 inches in size with a throw distance of just 1.8m. I find that to be fantastic!

The product will retail at $649 (AUD I believe) which is just short of $600 USD.
