Yinlips to launch world’s first video projector PMP

Posted in Projectors by Conner Flynn on August 18th, 2009

Yinlips to launch world’s first video projector PMPYinlips has unveiled a new portable media player that goes by the unimaginative name of Projector. I suppose that’s because the most notable feature of the device is its built-in projector capable of throwing an image of up to 80″ in size on any flat surface.

It also supports DVD format video projection and comes with a 3.5″ display in case you don’t need to watch something large. Some other features include video streaming support, 64-bit games compatibility and the ability to project games onto a wall. Our main concern is battery life. Measuring just 2cm thin, it can’t provide much time.
