Japanese company Thanko, the creator of an assortment of crazy — if not always practical — gadgets, has recently released an intriguing device targeting iPhone users. The iPhone Mini Projector is tiny, at 48 × 58 × 16 mm, and weighs only 32 grams. But once connected to an iPhone it projects the display onto nearby surfaces.
But don't get your hopes up too high just yet. This is not going to be any good for boardroom meetings, as the maximum projection distance is about a meter with the resultant projection maxing out at about 63 cm, with a resolution of 320 × 240 pixels.
It might, however, bring a little pizazz if you ever have to give a presentation on the fly. It could be fun in a cafe for example, or if you ever had to literally give an elevator pitch. For travelers it could be a decent pocket solution for showing a photo slideshow or a video of your trip.
