Vodafone Spain has launched the SHOWWX pico projector, a portable (pico) projector from Microvision.
The SHOWWX pico projector uses revolutionary laser-based display technology that delivers large, colorful, bright, and vivid images that are always in focus, regardless of projection distance.
The accessory product is a simple plug-n-play pico projector (think large matchbox) for people who wants to view and share mobile TV, movies, photos, presentations and more content anywhere they go! Users can take the pocket-sized projector anywhere, plug it into their portable media players, mobile phones, notebooks, MP3 and other portable mobile media devices with TV-Out or VGA functionality and share a big screen experience with friends, family or business associates. Depending on the ambient light, the projected images range in size from 12” to 150”.
Vodafone Spain are offering the device for 289€, or alternatively you can use the Points Program that Vodafone runs to get discounts. Additionally, the SHOWWX also will be marketed jointly with the smartphone Mini Nokia N97.
I think Pico Projector are going to become a big thing in the coming years – they’ve just got to find that magic combination of cost, usability, and portability – and we’ll see ‘Flash Mob Movies’ at the rate we are going!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
