Samsung unveils the MBP-200 Pico Projector
Samsung unveils the MBP-200 Pico Projector, a mini mobile accessory designed to transform the traditional 2-inch screen into up to about a 50-inch viewing area. You can then project anything you want, from presentations to video clips.
Samsung has revealed the updated MBP200 Pico Projector, which promises to be an updated version of the MBP-100 Pico Projector it released last year. As the name suggests, it's a tiny portable projector that can transform your little 2-inch handheld display into as big as a 50-inch viewing area. The projector utilizes the DLP pico chip from Texas Instruments. Features of the projector include a microSD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a 2.2-inch QVGA LCD screen so you can view the content before projecting it. You can view pictures, video clips, and PowerPoint presentations, and you can also listen to music and create playlists right on the device. Samsung boasts that it has the same imaging technology found in DLP HDTVs.
The MBP-200 Pico Projector supports the following media and document formats: JPEG, GIF, MBP, MP3, WMA, OGG, AAC, WAV, DivX, Xvid, WMV9 Simple Profile, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, PDF, PowerPoint .ppt, MS Word .doc, and MS Excel .xls. The Pico Projector measures 4.2 inches long by 1.9 inches wide by 0.7 inch thick and weighs around 5.6 ounces. No word on pricing, but Samsung does say it'll be out this year.
