3M MPro110 Micro Projector launches

Beam out some pocket-sized big screen action

The 3M MPro110 isn't the most feature-packed projector you'll find on the market, but it's almost certainly the smallest and very likely the most fun.

Yes, despite being the size of a particularly chunky smartphone, this palm-sized peripheral can offer big screen movie action or giant-sized gaming in VGA resolution up to a maximum screen size of 50 inches. And you can even do it in daylight, the LED lamp used to display images doesn't even require a darkened room - just a screen or a large plain wall and you're away. Oh yes, and an audio source too, but no built-in sound sadly.

Downsides? Well, home cinema aficionados will undoubtedly curl a lip at picture quality and the lack of 'proper' connectivity (VGA and composite video). But who cares, this is a gadget for the rest of us, a pocket-sized projector that will get the party started just about anywhere - able to hook up to your iPod and slam up giant-sized images of bad movie trailers and comedy dogs on any available wall. We'll see you in the queue late September, have your £180 ready.
