Projectors are usually large devices that are not easy to take with you on the road. Many mobile pros that give lots of presentations have to take their projector with them in a wheeled case all its own. Thankfully, more and more compact projectors are hitting the market that make taking one with you much easier.

Samsung has unveiled a new projector called the P410M that has a compact design measuring 5.8-inches W x 2.5-inches H x 5.7-inches D. The device features a USB port and an autoplay function to allow presentation without a laptop.

If you are a Snoopy/Peanuts fan, you’ll want to add this Snoopy Flying Ace USB hub to your desktop collection. You probably already have a Snoopy laptop anyway. Just plug the Snoopy USB hub into your computer’s USB port and Snoopy and his plane will start moving.

You can pretend he’s fighting the Red Baron, despite the fact that there’s no Red Baron. And the fight will take place entirely in your imagination and on your desk and not in the sky. In fact the thing looks silly, moving up and down like a kid’s ride outside of a department store. But if you like such things it will cost you $58.67 USD. Video below.

Wow. We are really seeing some actual cool iPod docks this week. Yamaha’s latest are amazing looking. It’s not just looks either, it’s made with metal, not plastic and apparently that doesn’t hurt the audio quality very much. In fact it is said to have a very rich sound and the “highs aren’t tinny like most—and there’s some nice bass response”.

What strikes us most about the MCR-140 is the awesome retro look, but some other features include: a wireless transmitter that attaches to the bottom of your iPod and streams music using Yamaha’s “uncompressed” wireless tech instead of using Blueooth. The MCR-040 (the orange one) is the exact same unit, but not wireless. They also handle CD, FM and USB.

JVC’s latest pair of soundbars, the TH-BA1 and TH-SB100 are basically the same unit, but the TH-SB100 has a JVC Blu-ray player along for the ride for your home theater needs. The low-profile soundbars include four individually housed 3 3/16″speakers, an amplifier and a sound processor with 220 watts of total system power.

They decode Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS decoding. The two outside speakers deliver the left and right channel information, while the middle two deliver center channel information plus the surround/left and surround/right channels.

Looks like LG is jumping on the portable hard drive bandwagon with their new line of XD3 Slims. These trim hard drives measure just 13mm thin and sport rubber-padded sides for impact protection. They connect by your USB 2.0 port, but the XD3 Slim can also connect using SATA II.

Storage capacity maxes out at 500GB. The 320GB model should arrive in Europe and North America for about $90 later this year. They look pretty good. We really like the brushed aluminum finish.

Samsung just unveiled its LN65B650 TV at the CEDIA expo, which measures in at a huge 65″ across. The LN65B650 is one of the largest ever conventionally-lit LCDs from the company. Some features include Internet support for Flickr, Yahoo and YouTube.

It also boasts a 120Hz panel, 4ms pixel response time and a 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Some other features are an anti-glare screen and four CEC-aware HDMI inputs, dual component, RCA and USB jacks as well as one Ethernet port, VGA, optical audio out and RS-232 serial.

Solar power has come a long way. They used to be something you only saw on hippie communes and Sci-fi movies. Solar panels are on everything now, especially our charging gadgets. The latest to sport a solar panel is the Surge iPod Touch charger, which allows you to recharge your iPod Touch anywhere, as long as you have sunlight.

The case features a 3.7 V lithium-ion battery that can be charged via the sun or by USB should it be cloudy. It comes in a bunch of colors. We aren’t sure if they have chargers for the other iPods, but at least your Touch is covered.

Netgear’s Digital Entertainer EVA2000 is perfect for those who don’t have a home theater PC or a networked console. The device will stream all of your PC media onto your TV. It connects to the TV via HDMI/composite and to your router via ethernet and it will stream a bunch of codecs from your PC or networked storage, as well as load media from a USB drive or stream YouTube from the web.

There is a catch of course. You need to purchase PlayOn for $40 if you want to stream video services like Hulu, Netflix and CBS from a computer. That takes the price from $150 for the Netgear Digital Entertainer up to $190.

The USB port is one versatile port. We use it for storage, charging, playing with USB toys and now for the USB mosquito repellent dongle. That’s right, you can now repel mosquitoes via USB. Assuming the device works anyway.

At least it will only cost you $6 to find out. This device generates a repellent field to which some insects are sensitive. My guess is that it doesn’t have a far range. If any of you have tried this, let us know.

Grundig may be looking to replace TiVo with their latest TV models. Several of the models will incorporate USB-recording technology. You can use a standard USB flash drive or external hard drive as a personal video recorder or PVR. The catch is that you can only watch the recorded content on a compatible Grundig set.

8GB of storage should hold up to 4 hours of programs at normal resolution, but for HD recordings that number goes down. Content without copy protection can be viewed on any Grundig TV with the USB option, but encrypted channels can only be viewed on the TV where they were recorded on. The USB drives can be fully or partially formatted to suit the USB recording function and still allow other data to be stored on the drive.

This Alien USB Drive made by Etsy seller MikaEle is hand carved from wood. We love the detail, especially the realistic looking fangs. The USB connection slides in and out with the push of a button so you can display him when not in use.

It comes with 4GB of storage space. If you want it you better be quick, it’s one of a kind, which is why it’s priced at $155 over at MikaEle’s Shop on Etsy. Sure, that’s a lot of dough, but we’re talking an Alien head here.

Two new huge Sci-Fi vehicles have now been scaled down to flash drive size for your amusement. The Jawa Sandcrawler from Star Wars and the Borg ship from Star Trek. There’s no room inside for droids or Borg, but this pair will hold your data.

These drives feature 2GB of storage, and are compatible with PC and Mac. They were created by Etsy seller Jasons Creations for $25.00 each. If you think that resistance is futile, then head on over and buy one now.

Epson’s EH-DM3 is an all-in-one portable karaoke projector that will have you singing at the party. It arrives in November for £579 and the unit will play from USB, HDMI, PC, TV tuner, digital cameras and MP3 players. It also features an integrated slot for DVDs and a microphone jack so you can shatter glass and make cats yowl in pain.

Some other features include 2 x 10W built-in speakers, carry handle, 3000:1 contrast and 2000 lumens of brightness.

Mini computers are growing in popularity every day and over the last several months there have been lots of new mini PCs, nettops, and netbooks unveiled. These low cost systems have proven very compelling options for consumers with less to spend during the global economic crunch.

IFA 2009 is in full swing over in Europe and Fujutsu has unveiled its latest Mini PC called the Esprimo Q1500. The little mini PC is packed inside a small case that has a volume of 1.4 liters and still offers HDMI out and optional Blu-ray. The machine is square and is about the size of a CD case according to Fujitsu.

Now here’s an attractive design from a company that knows how to do sexy when it wants to. LG’s LU7000 TV is perfect for those with limited space. Hell, it’s just plain nice to look at. The LU7000 series comes in sizes from 19″ to 22″, and features an integrated DVD player. That means you’ll be saving some space on your shelf, not to mention you’ll have less wires.

It also sports built-in speakers, a few HDMI ports, one USB 2.0 port and Freeview inside. The TV is compatible with most file formats, so you can view JPEGs and listen to music using the USB 2.0 port. We don’t have any pricing, but we can tell you that it will be arriving in the UK this month.
