WowWee Cinemin Swivel: Bendy micro-projector for iPods

Nate Lanxon | Jun 02, 2009

A projector for your iPod, you say? A battery-powered pocket-sized projector, you say? Useful for projecting images of imaginary relatives on to the wall next to your bed so you don't feel so hopelessly alone anymore, you say? Crikey, we're practically dripping with curiosity. Also fear.

We are of course talking about a new pocketable projector from WowWee--the Cinemin Swivel. It costs US$573, but its lens--mounted on a hinge that swivels 90 of your Earth degrees--will throw video from your iPhone or iPod on to any flat surface or large-ish mammal. We recommend dead ones, they move less.

Goodness us, just imagine watching Black Beauty--on a horse! Or Homeward Bound--on a dog! Or porn--on an arse! You could go crazy: Cheerleaders on one cheek, Japanese maids on the other. Fun times.

From the 480 x 320-pixel moving picture beast you can snag a maximum image size of 5m. And from a full charge over USB you'll get two hours of projector-based fun.

It'll be on sale in September, and all being well, we'll get one in and give you a hands-on report.
