It did not take long for the next format war to start, only months after the much hyped Sony Blu-Ray vs HD DVD war ended a new format fight has been spotted looming in the distance.  While this is still some way off as of yet there are several possible contenders so let me introduce you to the upcoming fighters in each corner.

Korea Electronics Technology Institute has revealed today it is developing a 4 ounce projector device for cell phones.  This seems a very positive move from the flexible screen tv that many other companies are looking into.

The current Alpha model of teh ibuilt phone device can create a 60 inch clear image from 6 feet away, quite a feat for such a small device!

After nearly half an hour… Continue Reading»

The new Micro SD Card portable projector available from Drink Stuff Is probably one of the best releases I have seen in a long time.  Costing only £99 ($198) It is basically a small projector that runs off 4 AA batteries and can play movies off SD Cards. Its a damn small unit measuring 165mm long and 105mm wide.  Its screen size is fairly limited at around one metre square , but lets face it this is a handy portable device, not for a serious home projection… Continue Reading»

A lot of TV Viewers who are hooked on their DVR/Hard Drive Recorders have been extremely annoyed of late since CBS’s survivor has repeatedly failed to record on many peoples Digital TV Recording Equipment, wether it be DVRs or DVD/HD Recorders.
