The mini projector can be used for playing photos and videos directly from Wii, iPod, cell phone or any media devices by means of a 3-in-1 AV jack. Aside from direct streaming, it also displays media from its 1GB of internal memory or an SD, MMC or MS Pro card. It works for any formats like AVI, JPEG, ASF and MPEG-4 and has a built-in battery and stereo speaker.

It can be used for video streaming and presentations. Whether you want to watch a movie in a bigger screen or just delivering a report that needs some visual support in your class, the PocketCinema V10 mini projector can help you. You certainly won’t be having trouble in carrying the device because of its small size unlike the present projector that most of us are using.

Together with the PocketCinema V10 mini projector, Aiptek also showcased their Mona Lisa picture frame with a built-in digital camera.

ViTiny has a lot of features that make it more user-friendly than the traditional microscopes. The traditional microscope is very expensive, difficult to use and most specially, not portable. Not one of these attributes describes the ViTiny microscope.

ViTiny, being digital has the ability to capture the images you are inspecting. Using ViTiny’s 24-90x zoom; you can take a picture of the object you are viewing. Another good thing about this is that you no longer have to put the object you wish to view on a slide beneath the lens of the microscope, all you have to do is put the ViTiny over the object.

To be able to study the object more, the images you have in the digital microscope can be transferred to your computer via USB cable.

ViTiny comes in three magnification options. It has a 5x optical magnification and 20x digital magnification; 12x optical magnification and 48x digital magnification; 24x optical magnification and 48x digital magnification.

WHAT IS IT?A portable 320GB hard drive with the ability to copy and play back movies, photos and music over all manner of hardware. To that end, it comes not only with the expected PC USB connectivity, but also with audiovisual outputs and a Scart adaptor, making it compatible with standard televisions and hi-fi sets. Waiting on the disk is software able to handle just about any audio or video format imaginable, and capable of upscaling the latter to 720p HD if you choose. The software is accessed via dedicated playback keys or the supplied remote control. Particularly noteworthy is the unit’s ability to cope with DVDs, though only as long as they’re copyright-free. Transfer a film to the Plextor using your computer, and the drive will store not just the video, but all the associated extras, such as menus and chapters - previously only possible if you manually converted each audio or video format.

If you’ve got the money, the Plextor PX-MPM320U Media Drive might just get the job done for you.
