RoyalTek have released their first pico-projector (you know, those tiny portable projector units), which is called the RPJ-2000. Here’s the low-down from my buddy Ron at picoprojector-info.com:
It’s a stand-alone projector (with no internal memory) that uses 3M’s 2nd-generation LCoS engine. It’s available now in Taiwan and in Europe (219 euro for the basic version). It got approval from Apple – being compatible with the iPhone and iPod (the connectivity kit costs 30 euro extra). It’s also very quiet, as it uses Quanta’s no-fan cooling tech. RoyalTek hopes to ship around 60,000 units next year – through their own brand, and through ODMs.
Nice bit of kit I’d suspect – these units really are becoming more and more affordable all the time. The really cool bit of associated news here though is that RoyalTek will be releasing 5 more projectors in 2010, one of which apparently is going to have a DTV receiver in it – now that, if it arrives in time for the 2010 FIFA World Cup could be VERY interesting for fans indeed! FlashMob football match viewing, anyone?

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.
