Pocket projector - I want one!

I heard about this last night. It seems ironic that I should have been told about this on the same day in which I posted about a calculator weighing in at 5.6kgs.

The Optoma Pico"Palm-Sized" Portable Projector costs around £245. It weighs 115g. It enables users to share images and videos from an ipod, mobile phone, camera, PSP or whatever. They project an image of between 6" and 60"(although some users have recommended around 30" as being optimal). Apparently, it generates clear, vivid, high contrast (but not HD) images, has a long (rechargeable) battery life, and boasts about 20K hours of lamp life (which is pretty darn good compared with some of the larger projectors!)

User-reviewers are rating it very high in terms of ease of use and value for money.

Right. That's been added to my wishlist!

Yawnbuster

Thanks to Jane Hart for this one today. Yawnbuster is designed to add a bit of interactive zing to PowerPoint presos. Another weapon in the war on dull PowerPoints. I suspect that many creative presenters have been including elements of this one way and another for a while, but this helps makes the execution a bit sexier.

Not a bad price tag, but we have kind of gotten used to getting our apps for nothing...

Having pointed you at Mo, earlier, I now encourage you (if you don't already) to subscribe to Jane's pick of the day blog. She is a real asset to the community and a source of all sorts of genuinely useful resource and information.
