Article:
Texas Instruments is busy with a very original idea! Who didn't thought of a portable
projector? They've designed the Pico Projector to move with you.
That's a very good idea for mobile gamers! Pico Projector is only 11.5 x 5 x 2.2 cm and weights just 160g.
You can connect it to a notebook, netbook, Mediaplayer, I-pod and everything that's capable of outputting a video signal.
The device itself can create a screen that's up to 50 inch (1.27 meter) diagonal! That's quite impressive for such a small device.
You could imagine that it won't show high-definition resolutions on the wall. It uses a resolution of 640x480.
Anyway, it doesn't create any sound (it has no fan to cool it down) and it has it's own battery. There's a Lithium Ion battery installed that will
make it possible to use the device for one hour.
