3M launches the MPro110 Handheld Projector

By Roland Hutchinson on Monday 15th September 2008 8:32 am in Displays, Gadgets, Technology News

A number of companies have released details of tiny handheld projectors over the last few months, none have managed to get one released as yet, that is until now, 3M has beaten other manufacturers to it with the launch of the 3M MPro110 Handheld Projector.

The 3M MPro110 will be able to display a VGA image at a resolution of 640 x 480 up to 50 inches, it has built in VGA and composite video inputs, and the best part has to be the price, the 3M MPro110 will go on sale for $359, and should be available to buy in about two weeks.

So we can expect to see a lot more of these mini handheld projectors over the next twelve months and the price is bound to drop.

Update 6th October 2008

The 3M MPro110 is now available to order online from the 3M Shop.

DUDE! I’d love to stream my favorite YouTube video on a bus…

Visual pollution? Just the fact that you are in a city riding on a bus listening to all the cars go by and seeing all the man made structures completely eliminates the possibility of not being invaded by visual and sound pollution. If you are anti visual pollution move to the countryside and become a hermit. If technology is not embraced, it leaves you behind and you end up obsolete as the telegram.

The possibilities for a hand held projector are amazing! Can’ wait to get my hands on one.

There will be no YouTube streaming on buses. Anyone caught doing so will have their fingernails removed.

Frank, do you not get the satire in what Korpsaw was saying. He’s on the interwebs, assume he’s technology savvy. Don’t try giving some bs hippy response on having a w##k over the earth.

Yeah the idea of this is cool, however Korpsaw is completely right. F##king kids.

HA! Greasy men in filthy trenchcoats hanging out on dark and dirty subway platforms projecting porn on stained white walls in the subway as unwilling young girls are exposed to degenerate acts. Oh Boy! another facet of sex crimes.

I have one of these and i have to say, the concept is great, but the performance is terrible. even in a dark room, you can barely make the image out, its way underpowered. Past 25 inches, it get’s pretty useless, you are better off using your laptop screen.
