You can now display your personal images and videos through a tiny, portable projector, writes STEPHEN FENECH 

WE stopped carrying photographs in wallets a while ago and started storing images on mobile phones or digital media players instead.

Videos have taken a similar route.

Although such storage may be convenient, the method has its limitations in the way those pictures can be displayed because of the size of the screen on the product.

But those files can now be displayed in their full glory with the V10 Pocket Projector.

About the size of a mobile phone and measuring just 12.5cm long, 2.3cm thick and 5.5cm wide, the V10 is just 1cm longer than an iPhone.

Similar to regular projectors, the V10 is VGA quality (640x480) and can beam images and videos up to 127cm high on to a wall – or ceiling – from a distance of 1.8m.

The V10 uses an LED with a brightness of 10 Lumens and, unlike lamps used in regular projectors, it will never need replacing.

Ideal for business users, the V10 can easily be set up for a boardroom presentation in seconds, with a mini-tripod included in the package.

The projector can be connected to other electronic devices such as mobile phones, iPods or other media players and easily displays the content quite dramatically.

There’s 1GB on board the V10 as well as a built-in SD card slot to display content directly from the device.

For other consumers, the V10 will be a desirable accessory with its many other uses.

It can also be connected to DVD players, camcorders and digital cameras and even a gaming console. 

The product is ideal for showing off photos or enjoying video stored on a portable device. 

It will be an attractive product for travellers as well, thanks to its tiny size.

It is like having a 127cm screen in your pocket. 

The device has a five-way navigation keypad to find your way around the projector’s menu that allows users to sort through the folders to find files. 

A pair of speakers on top of the device are small but powerful enough to hear the soundtrack of a movie.

Inside is a rechargeable lithium ion battery that can power the device for only 60 minutes, although it can be played while attached to a power supply. 

And the device can also be recharged using a USB cable attached to a computer.

Along the side of the V10 is a focus wheel to ensure that the projected image is as sharp as possible.

Moving the pocket projector away from the wall enlarges the picture.

The ceiling is also a handy place to point the V10, and makes for comfortable viewing if you’re in bed or just reclining at home.

The V10 pocket projector is a smart new product set to be a real head-turner, and can provide that big-screen feel anywhere.

It will be released in September.

The V10 Pocket Projector is priced at $649 and is available from Mint Trading by calling 1300 651 417.
