I like small gadgets, as long as they are not too small, so they become very likely to be lost without their owner feeling that. When talking about projectors, it's really nice to see one that can be carried around in a pocket, compared to older models that are pretty large and, in some cases, very heavy. Anyway, we're not going to talk about some small projector, because Explay is the company that managed to design and build the smallest projector available at this time!

If you didn't know about this, just as I wasn't aware of it, Explay is a company from Israel, and their tiny projector, called Oio and categorized by its creator as a "nano projector", is a device that may be incorporated in various mobile phones and cameras, as well as laptops and other devices, in the years to come.

Basically, the Oio employs a hybrid laser, combined with a LED light source, to project images on a certain surface. It is battery-operated, child safe, and future products incorporating it will be able to project screen sizes starting at 7 inches, up to 30 inches.

For now, this is more of a prototype than a finished product, but I am sure we'll get to see it more and more often, in the second half of this year. A PMP with built-in projector, anyone?...
