Have you ever used your iPhone to watch a movie in your room and thought that the screen was just a little too small? What if you could get the portability of the iPhone with the screen size of a television? 3M may have the answer with its 32 lumens 3M Mobile Projector, which allows for a screen size of 80” and is able to last  for 2 hours on a single charge. The light power of this projector only works well indoors and you may find use for it in situations in which hunching over a small screen is not your fancy.

Bulky projectors have been around for a long time and 3M may have developed the world’s first useful projector that is also compact and mobile. Judging by the almost non-existent reviews of mobile projectors on Amazon, it’s safe to say that 3M has taken the lead in this emerging market. The 3M Mobile Projector connects to all iPads and iPhones, your iPod Touch, iPod Nano (3rd through 6th generations), and iPod Classic. The Projector is priced at $299, costing just as much as the devices it connects to. Standard projectors go in the $2,000 range and early reviews are that 3M developed an incredible value, despite its low 32 lumens.
