Note: This is not a review. A real review would have comparisons and specs and far more seriousness.
This is just me doing a little happy dance about my new toy.
As a result of some not-so-subtle holiday hinting, Dennis gave me the 3M MP225 Mobile Projector and a cable this week.
Yes, this cute little projector fits in my hand (and my purse) and allows me to present in the kitchen even if it’s not completely dark.
Note: no one here really wants me to present in the kitchen.
But when I get back to school after the break, I can share all the cool stuff I discover on my laptop at a moment’s notice. When I get an impromptu Skype thing going–with the #swvbc, for instance, I will be able to quickly share it without moving to another workstation.
And I will be able to travel with it.
And it is Apple-friendly. It will project my iPad2 and my iPhone (though I never have much to project from my phone).
The sound output is not impressive, but happily this week Dennis also gave me a very cute little speaker that also fits in my purse. Please also note the cute deep orange purse below.
Finally please note: It’s actually now the cables (not shown) that are taking up the space in the cute deep orange purse.
Actual final note: This projector is quite lovely, but it will not replace your super-duper, nonpurse-sized model.
About Joyce Valenza
Love it!
I’m green with envy.
Great toy. Amazing how small those projectors have become. Now you just need to get a bigger purse.
I remember the first projector I had in my library. I had to have a large case with wheels to move it! Awesome!
Ooooh, I want one!
I can very much see you presenting in the kitchen. “Alright…here’s the game plan for tonight’s dinner…” I think my first projector was water-powered. When we replaced it, we considered donating it to the Smithsonian, to display next to their vintage steam engines and whatnot.
I did not know this even existed! I will have to put this on a wishlist somewhere. I can see the potential of this little device for school visits (I’m a public librarian), or when the projector doesn’t work, or library events or as you say, impromptu. Especially if I can make it work with the iPad2. Either way, LOVE IT. Thanks for sharing!
