Raise your hand if you've found yourself huddled around a cell phone with at least 3 people. Now, we know you can't see this, but everybody else reading this is raising their hand, too. We've all done it. How many times have you wished you had a projector that didn't require a small suitcase to be portable? The current "solutions" for video projection just downright suck for portability (not to mention you can fry an egg on 'em, they get so hot!).
Introducing the Cinemin Swivel portable multimedia pico projector. It's powered by Texas Instrument's DLP Technology, so what you'll see is an ultra clear and high contrast HVGA picture with vivid color. It's also great because you can plug it directly into your iPod or iPhone to project your favorite pictures and videos on the nearest flat surface. Take projection out of the boardroom and into the palm of you hand. Since it fits in your pocket and runs on batteries, it can go anywhere you go. Project a movie on your ceiling while you are stuck in bed with the sniffles, review your presentation slides on the back of the seat in front of you on the airplane, do an instant replay of a friend's party foul before you upload it to YouTube... the possibilities for good and evil are endless!
