Project videos from a PMP

Darius Chang | Jun 04, 2008

Personal media players suffer from one major issue--sharing movies on the small LCD is quite impossible. But this is not the case for the Suniview PMP Projector, which claims to be the first portable media player to incorporate a pico projector under the hood.

Granted the projector is not exactly powerful at 5 lumens with only VGA resolution. But this is a step in the right direction for overcoming the compromise between portability and display size. The PMP Projector is a Windows CE device with a 400MHz Samsung processor powering the built-in 3.5-inch QVGA screen. It comes with an SD/MMC slot to boost its miserable 64MB internal memory and can display images as well as Microsoft office documents, a major boon for on-the-go presentations.

This device has a price range of between US$500 and US$600 and is due for Taiwan shelves in the third quarter of this year. We were not given an answer on whether this device would make it overseas, though.
