Y’know, today, we really live in what, a few years ago, would have been regarded as the world of science-fiction. And I don’t mean that in the glib, “duh” way. Even for the most tech-hardened geek, the pace that this stuff is arriving with, is wonder-time. Today, we take our world with us wherever we go. Our phones carry photos and videos of loved ones; our music and images are stored on memory cards. And of course, in the workplace, we have to have access to our business tools on the move. We demand more and more of the products that we take with us every day.
Until now, the ability to share your world with your colleagues and friends meant sharing the screen of your phone/iPad, or relying on laptops and bulky, cantankerous projectors. No more. With devices like the Optoma Pico PK301, your photos, videos and presentations can all be projected onto almost any blank surface, directly from a pocket projector, roughly the size of a 30′s cigarette box.
Smokin’ !!

Packed into it’s sexy, black, 120x70x30mm, slip-me-in-your-pocket enclosure, the PK301 has a 20,000 hr LED lamp, which requires no fan, so it’s quiet. Silent, in fact. And at a range of 3 meters, it’ll throw a HUGE 120″ image on the surface of your choice. And with a 2000:1 contrast ratio, your audience won’t be squinting at a dim, washed out blob, either. It runs off mains or it’s own 1.5hr rechargeable battery, (5 hours with the optional high-capacity version), supports more video and image formats than you could shake a stick at (avi, wmv, mpg, mpeg, mp4, 3gp, 3g2, mov, m4v, rm, rmvb, ogm, flv, asf, jpg, tiff, gif, png, bmp, tga, fpx, pcx, pcd, psd) and has a micro SD slot which accepts cards up to 32GB.

Where can you get one of these little beauties? Just pop into your local Incredible Connection store, and get sorted. Project away, captain!
