General Imaging’s iPico targets Apple Users

We see more and more a redefined role for the pico projector as more manufacturers step up with their imaginative application for this technology. The iPico projector from General Imaging is not the first iPhone projector but it makes for a sleek and well rounded addition to the club started by Brookstone’s iPhone projector,  the Pop Video Projector,  and the Mili Pro V2 to name a few.

General Imaging’s ipico is a sleek hand-held, projector that sports a patented pop-up connector which will transform your iPhone or iPod touch into an instant social media tool wherever you are. Almost universal iPhone or iPod connectivity advances the iPico over its Brookstone forbears but likely, the brightness is going to be in the 15 -20 lumen range along with most other iPhone projectors with the exception of the updated 35 lumen Sanwa 400-PRJ011.  The ipico is capable of projecting a maximum screen size of 50″, where it will come in white this holiday season for $129.99 a pop making it one of the most affordable iPhone pico projectors we have seen to date.

The big news this week was the leak of the next generation of the iPhone. It seems somebody from Apple left it at a bar and Gizmodo got their hands on it. While the OS is locked securely enough that nobody can get it to operate the hardware gives some big clues to the new features. There is now a camera in the front of the phone and the back. This leads us here at Micro-Projector to believe that iChat, with video chatting, will be a key new part of the iPhone. We can’t wait to see whether or not Apple includes Video out with this feature so that our pico’s can show off the person we are chatting with.
