Epson PowerLite 93+ projector is easy on your pockets
I remember back in my younger days, projectors were considered to be bulky and expensive - and they generally do not do well in fairly lighted conditions, preferring the confines of a room that cockroaches love - in pitch black darkness. Well, technology has certainly progressed a long way since then, and companies do churn out projectors that will run just fine (and silently, too) in a relatively bright room, and at higher resolutions, too. The Epson PowerLite 93+ projector is one of the latst models from Epson that target K-12 classrooms, where it will take over where the current PowerLite 93 left off.
Boasting high performance features such as 200 more lumens compared to its predecessor, the Epson PowerLite 93+ projector will also feature a robust built-in speaker and advanced connectivity features, making it perfect for schools who want to future-proof their classrooms without breaking their bank where an affordable projection solution is concerned.

3M CP45 Pocket Camcorder Projector
Mobile projectors, I will admit, did not really take off as fast or as far as I thought it would have when it was first introduced to the world. It seemed that the poor battery life as well as relatively low resolution count proved to be its Achilles Heel, but that has not stopped manufacturers from giving it a go again and again. 3M is one of the pioneers in the field of mobile projectors, and this time around, they have decided to keep us entertained with the £299.99 3M CP45 Pocket Camcorder Projector.
What makes this particular gizmo so special is the fact that this is not only a mobile projector, but a camcorder as well, so you can always record whatever you want on the go, and then play it back for your family and friends to see without the need to hook it up to a different device. Hmmm, sounds suspiciously familiar like one of those Nikon shooters. Hardware specifications include the ability to record in HD video, shoot 5-megapixel stills with 4x digital zoom, carry a 2.4″ LCD display, have 2GB of internal memory, and can project anywhere from 6″ to 65″ images. Battery life in projection mode is estimated to be up to 100 minutes, and it can record video for up to 150 minutes on a full charge. Sounds like fun, you might want to place a pre-order for it today.
Dell M110 Ultra Mobile Projector
The advancement of miniaturization technology has resulted in many things becoming far smaller without sacrificing on performance - and the same can be said of the projector. Even until now, projectors are still rather bulky in size, but then again they certainly have shed plenty of weight over the years, and at least you need not wait until the bulb cools down completely before turning off the main power in select models. What happens when you take a shrinking ray and point it towards a projector? Why, you end up with the Dell M110 Ultra Mobile Projector, of course!
The Dell M110 Ultra Mobile Projector is said to be more than just a projector, as it is a truly portable media hub that can see action either at home or at the office. It will tip the scales at a mere 0.8lbs, but despite the relatively small size, do not be deceived by its super small package - the M110 is still able to pack a punch!

Mili iPhone Projector 2
Ever wished you could share your recent holiday photos with your family and friends, but the iPhone’s display is too small, and neither will the iPad make the cut? Enter the £279.99 Mili iPhone Projector 2, where this unique device has gone through its fair share of improvements, ending up a full 50% slimmer compared to its predecessor, and in addition to that, is deadly silent even when operating so that there won’t be any irritating hum in the background that distracts anyone from your “presentation”.
All you need to do is plug in the iPod/iPhone (or other compatible video output device) and you’re good to go. It is capable of throwing up an image of up to 70″ on any flat surface - best if said surface was white, of course, so that the color will not run or look weird in any way. This LED-driven micro projector can display images of up to VGA resolution (that’s 640 x 480 pixels), where it will also be accompanied by a built-in stereo speaker and an AV slot.
MicroVision SHOWWX+ PicoP display engine
I decided to take a break on reporting on gaming gadgets, and focus on some other form of consumer electronics at the E3 gaming Expo. I always like seeing the latest in pico projectors, and I would have to say that the SHOWWX+ laser pico projector is one of the smallest that I have seen.
At a height of .55 inches and width of 2.36 inches, it is able to create an impressive image up to 100 inches in size, with WVGA resolution (848 x 480). According to the manual and what I saw at E3, it should “project on any surface, curved, moving or still, without having to focus or refocus”.
The battery is good for about 2 hours worth of use, and it is great for sharing videos, photos, and presentations in a 16:9 aspect ratio with a brightness of 15 lumens.

Hitachi iPJ-AW250N Ultimate Interactive Projector begins to ship
The Hitachi iPJ-AW250N Ultimate Interactive Projector is the latest model to be announced by the Japanese company, where it is capable of delivering the entire functionality of an interactive whiteboard - sans the board, of course. How does this happen without some sort of technological wizardry? We hope to explain it to you further below.
No pixie dust or magic is used when the iPJ-AW250N is in action, but rather, it will rely on infrared communication, where the iPJ-AW250N is capable of turning any flat surface into an interactive whiteboard. Of course, this will happen without having to make spatial sacrifices or being shackled by installation limitations of additional hardware.
Apart from that, the iPJ-AW250N will also utilize ultrasonic communication that goes a long way in overcoming interference issues associated with devices that communicate via the infrared spectrum.
