Mint Trading, a subsidiary of Mint Wireless (ASX: MNW) has launched, in Australia, what it claims is the world's smallest commercially available pocket projector.
Technology that enables a cellphone-sized device to project a large image onto a wall has been in the pipeline for some time. Te product offered by Mint, the V10, is manufactured by Aiptek for which Mint Trading was recently appointed the exclusive distributor in Australia and New Zealand.
Mint says that the V10 pocket projector will be available in retail outlets nationwide in September for $649. At 125 x 55 x 23mm it is just 1cm longer than an iPhone and is claimed to be able to project an image 130cms across from a distance of 1.8m. Alex Teoh, CEO, Mint Wireless said: "The V10 pocket projector has achieved significant interest amongst some of Australia's largest retailers and we are discussing commercial arrangements with retailers now.:
The device can display photos and videos input via a 3-in-1 AV jack or stored on its 1GB internal memory or from an SD, MMC or MS Pro card. Formats supported include AVI, JPEG, ASF and MPEG-4.
The projection technology in the V10 is repoted to be from 3M. Other vendors have demonstrated similar devices reportedly using key technology developed by Australian company Arasor (ASX: ARR).
