The iPhone is capable of many things; making
phone calls, sending texts, simulating a monkey rolling around in a clear
plastic ball. But projecting images is not among its listed features. PhoneSuit
looks to change all that with the MiLi Pro iPhone / iPod Video Projector.
Building off your portable video affection,
the MiLi Pro promises to turn your iPhone movies, video podcasts, and images
into impromptu theatre experience. It has its own rechargeable power supply, so
it wont be draining the already power hungry touch-screen phone. At its best,
the projector is capable of a 640×480 resolution. The image can then be fine
tuned with an adjustment wheel to get the best picture, depending on the
surface you’re broadcasting onto.
Increasing its versatility is that the MiLi
Pro can project from various sources. While its primary selling point is for
use with an iPhone/iPod, it will also ship with a VGA cable to work with your
laptop/PC as well as a RCA cable which adds support for DVD player projection.
They’ve also included integrated speakers into the unit, so everyone can enjoy
the film you’re projecting onto the back of the seat in front of you on the
airplane (let’s face it, airplane movies are hit and miss).
The projector also comes with an
additional, rechargeable lithium-polymer battery so you can actually get
through a Lord of the Rings movie. Charge time for each battery is roughly
three ours, so if you play your cards right by the time The Fellowship of the
Ring ends you should have a fresh battery charged for The Two Towers. There’s
no mention of how long each battery lasts and you can bet with a second one
included, as well as the additional cables and functionality, PhoneSuit is
likely going to price this thing fairly high. We’ll know more when it’s
released in Septermber.
The Mili Pro is compatible with iPhone 3GS,
3G, 2G and iPod Touch.
