This unfold-able LED pico projector is designed specifically with your iPhone in mind. Simply flip it open and dock your iPhone.

Optoma PK301 pico projector

"The Optoma Pico PK301 is probably the most impressive Pico projector on the market today," commented Product Manager, Richard Stamper.  "With impressive resolution and brightness the PK301 is an essential business tool, brilliantly handling and projecting highly professional looking PowerPoint ® slides, photo and video files.  After work, you'll be watching movies at up to 120 inches using the HDMI input or the built in memory.

A MicroSD slot allows for up to 32GB of removable storage space with the PK301, whilst connectivity options include mini HDMI, VGA and USB.

Whilst the WVGA (854 x 480) pixel resolution is nothing to write home about, the tiny size and 250g weight make it a perfect portable device for those regularly travelling to make presentations.

Samsung SP-H03 pico projector

Weighing in at 210g, the device aims at super portability and hopes to appeal to those of you who are employed with that oh-so-joyous task of performing presentations.

Graham Long, Vice President of Samsung's IT Business Division at Samsung Electronics said:

“The SP-H03 was designed to be extremely portable, eliminating the hassle and setup issues often encountered by presenters as they travel from organisation to organisation".

“By creating a convenient, portable, powerful and inexpensive device, Samsung is poised to assert its leadership at the top of this market”.

Suitable for projecting images from 9 to 80 inches the SP-H03 gives 30 ANSI lumens of brightness and gives you a 1GB internal memory, but is expandable with a MicroSD card so storing data shouldn't be a problem.

The detachable battery will apparently last up to the 2-hour mark in Eco mode (no word on battery life when not in "eco" mode) which should be just enough for presentations, but if you want to watch movies it sounds like you'll need to hunt for a power socket.

3M Mpro 150 Pico Projector

The MPro 150 is astonishingly minute, weighing a mere 158g. Yes, that’s great for Bond-loving execs looking to mimic Q’s own mini-gadget filled briefcase, but what we’re really after here is image quality. Tucked inside the MPr0 150’s minuscule shell is its MM200 optical engine, which uses an advanced liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) system where most use a DLP engine. 3M claims that this gives you a full colour gamut (reproduction).

Unfortunately, we found the MPro 150’s pictures extremely lacking in brightness. There’s a bit more lumination than the similarly sized Optoma PK101 (the MPro packs 15 lumens) but it still yields flat and lifeless pictures. We suggest you don’t dare increase the picture size over 35in and be sure to turn off or black-out any light source you can find. Otherwise it’s fuzzy heaven.

Samsung Galaxy Beam: AMOLED touch screen, Android OS, projector

Samsung, which has been making serious plays in the smartphone world, has announced that their "Beam" phone, which has Android and a built-in projector, will soon be shipping.

The phone itself is a real spectacle. It has a 3.7" touchscreen (Super AMOLED display), Android 2.1, Bluetooth 3.0, A-GPS, 802.11n Wi-Fi, an 8MP phone, FM radio, microSD slot and yes, a DLP-based pico projector. It's certainly a never-before-seen set of specifications, and the battery life of 7 hours of talk time is also fairly unheard of.
