Pocket Projector

I love this piece! A mini projector; the size is: 5inch x 2inch x 1inch.

It cost RM1,799.00

It's an Aiptek Pocket Cinema V10

You can get it at Unisoft Sdn Bhd (Tel: 03 - 5192 4921)



I'm not advertising for Aiptek or Unisoft.

I saw it in the newspaper and I surf the web for more information; and I like it. I will get one!

With this gadget I can carry a projector in my pocket and use it to do presentation.

The good thing is it do not use bulb which is costly; it uses LED.


Using a white LED light source and LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) display, the Pocket Cinema V10 can project up to a 127cm (diagonal) image - that's 100cm by 75cm - and a display range of between 25cm and 180cm.

The 10 lumens brightness figure does highlight the fact this isn't the brightest of projectors; entry-level home/business models easily achieve 2,500 lumens. (A 100W bulb puts out about 1,300 to 1,700 lumens. 10 lumens - that's around one tenth the illumination of most home cinema projectors.

The Aiptek Pocket Cinema V10, a mobile projector comes with an SD card slot for photos and a USB connection for uploading files to the 1GB internal memory.

The VGA (640x480) resolution, 4:3 aspect ratio and paltry 0.5W built-in speaker.

There's good file type support (JPEG, MP3, AVI, ASF, DAT, MOV, M4V, MPEG, RealMedia and WMV)

A USB socket enables connection to a PC.

The V10 does have a practical business use, as a presentation tool. However it can't run Microsoft Office.

However, it seems that this gadget had poor video quality and not bright enough. The projector needs almost complete darkness to display a quality image unless you view the image at 15inches.

Ehm ... do I still want to buy the Aiptek, or,

would it be better to get a slightly bigger Mitsubishi PK20?






My fellow blogger Moo_t has advised me to buy this:

Dell M109S Palm Projector

Size: 3.64" x 4.12" x 1.46"
Weight: 0.80 lbs
Brightness: 50 ANSI Lumens (Max)
SVGA native resolution: 858 x 600

The M109S utilizes mercury-free LED light source of usage life up to 10,000 hours.

I think Dell might be a better choice. But is 50 Lumens bright enough to do powerpoint presentation, Moo_t?
