Turn your iPhone into a projector
With the nifty little Aiptek MobileCinema i20, you can project multimedia wherever you are. Plus you can even use it as a spare charger for your iPhone.
Aiptek produces several interesting pico projectors that come in various sizes and configurations, and the i20 you see here is at the budget end of the range.
It's tiny, there are no cables and it enables you to project all kinds of media onto a screen size of up to 50 inches (125cm) diagonal, at Q1080p (960 x 540) resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio.
The internal battery also works as an extra battery pack for your iPhone or iPad, and it comes with special designed app for photo/video sharing, web browser and 'live view'.
The main draw with this projector, though, is its compact size, which makes it super-convenient to carry around for whenever you need it. See it in action here:
