Gift Guide: A Projector That Fits in Your Pocket

The Optoma PICO Pocket Projector hooks up to your iPhone, iPod or anything with a composite AV out and projects a 60 inch image... and it weighs about 4 oz. Obviously it's an ideal gift for anyone who's always talking about preparing a "presentation for clients" or for those who do more than a bit of public speaking. But actually, pretty much anyone can have fun with a miniature projector.

Share photos and home movies on your iPod or iPhone with groups at any social gathering. That's right! You are immediately the center of attention. Take control of bland parties by projecting images on the wall -- '50s B-movies, funny pet videos from YouTube, Stan Brakhage shorts -- whatever the mood calls for! And of course you can watch a 60-inch projection of your favorite films or television anywhere for a fraction of the price of a real projector. As a bonus, most user reviews actually say that the image gets much larger than 60 inches; one said they comfortably watched a boxing match at 122 inches.
