Hasta La Gadget!

The first time we saw a pico projector some of us thought: “Err… What’s the point?” Slide show presentations from your phone? Doubt it — not powerful enough for practical use. Cinematic experience in the toilet? Maybe, but you’d want a built-in projector on your PMP instead of a separate brick. Funky dance? Only in Japan. Finally, WowWee took a break from robotics to give us the answer with its foldable Cinemin Swivel pico projector: for watching videos on the ceiling while lying in bed, obviously. Still, we have our doubts about image quality, portability and practicality — especially for $299. Read on to find out if this little guy is worth it.
