"The famous developer of light-scanning technologies for display and imaging products, Microvision is planning to unveil at CES an advanced prototype of a handheld plug-and-play projector intended for mobile devices and applications, named as SHOW. It’s the stand-alone pico projector which powered by the company’s proprietary ultra-miniature PicoP display engine, allowing the users to project a wide screen, WVGA resolution (848 X 480 pixels), DVD quality image, ranging from 12 inches (30cm) to 100 inches (2.5m).

In addition, Microvision also claims that the SHOW can support up to 2.5 hour of battery life on a single charge, which sufficient to watch a full-length movie.

“Consumers want better display solutions that will enrich their experience in watching TV, videos and movies, in playing games, and in browsing the web from their cell phones and other mobile devices,” said Alexander Tokman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Microvision. "


things I will use the projector for:

1. projecting videos from my iphone while lying in bed
2. projecting videos from my iphone on my desk while studying for my surgical final exam
3. projecting videos from my iphone on the bathroom tiles while taking a dump
4. projecting videos from my iphone on the dashboard while waiting in 6reej fhaheel traffic (morning and afternoon)
5. projecting videos from my iphone on the ground during hospital rounds/lectures
6. projecting videos from my iphone while getting a lecture about projecting videos from my iphone

the options are unlimited... what else do u guys suggest i do with it?

According to the company, the commercial version of the new show handheld projector is expected to be available by the end of 2008 and will only cost 400 US dollars, which would amount to something like 3 or 4 KD at the current exchange rate i think :/
