Thanko MiniJEC1 Mini Projector

Thanko has released a new tiny projector, which measures 61 x 37 x 60mm and weighs in at just 142g. This tiny projector lets your project video from your iPhone, iPod, or PC and it can project an image up to 45 inches with a resolution of 640 x 480.

Weighing in at just 142 grams the Thanko MiniJEC1 is latest pico projector to fly out of Japan. With an almost cube like quality the Thanko MiniJEC1 pico projector still fits snugly in even the average size gadgeteer's hand and while the 200:1 contrast ratio is pretty low the resolution matches the current micro projector highest resolutions at 640×480.
The throw however is our greatest concern with this nicely designed pico, its rumored a 14 inch screen takes a distance of 60cm to produce, however this might not matter depending on the user and what its mostly projecting onto.

Finally, this Thanko MiniJEC1 pico projector is nothing new in terms of technology. Still it does have a more substantial design appeal, if they can improve on the lens and contrast ratio, then the Thanko MiniJEC1 Mini Projector maybe onto an early winner.
