iphone-video-projector_HSfOp_6648There are all kinds of ways to share the music that’s being played on your iPod.  You can get nice expensive speakers or even cheap portable ones to let the world listen in on your favorite music.  Well if you’re going to share the music on your iPod, you might as well share the videos too.  No one wants to crowd around a small screen, so instead you could pick up this video projector.  Which will work with not only the iPod but various other gadgets as well.

The projector will work with your iPod, the iPhone or any other device with composite outputs.  Plus the projector could easily slip into your pocket, since it’s only about the size of a candy bar.  It has a ½-watt internal speaker or you can plug in a set of headphones directly into the projector’s headphone jack.  It produces 480×320 resolution with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and a 3:2 aspect ratio.  The rechargeable battery will let you view for 2 hours of continuous play if you leave it to charge for 3 hours.  In order to charge it, you can plug it into your computer or into the wall with the included AC adapter.  You can purchase the projector for $379.95 from Hammacher Schlemmer.

iTwin – File Sharing

September 20th, 2009 admin No comments

itwin-20090915-501What you see in the picture here is the iTwin. It isn’t a thumb drive with two USB connections, but a way of transferring your files from one computer to another.

Sure, you could just set up a mainframe network, send a file as an attachment, or just put the file you want on a thumb drive and plug it into another computer. Yes, there are a lot of ways to do file transfers from one computer to the other, but iTwin makes the process a lot easier.

Here’s what you do. The iTwin comes apart into two equal parts. You stick one USB thumb into one part, then the other thumb into another computer. From there, you can drag and drop files from one computer, and it will automatically appear on the other computer.

Yes, the iTwins are connected wirelessly via the Internet, just like the bond between two twins. At least the ones that are psychic.

The creators of the iTwin hope to have this out on the market sometime early next year for a price of $99. You might think that is a lot to spend for this file-sharing device, but you should ask yourself how much you would spend to make your life easier.
