MiLi iPhone Pico Projector Now on Sale in UK

by Jay Garrett on February 28, 2010

Remember the MiLi projector? The pico that’s been specially designed to chuck images from your iPhone or iPod onto a nearby wall?

Well, IWOOT now has them in stock which means if you want to throw a 70 inch image on to a clear, flat vertical surface you’re in luck.

To see your stored pics or videos go large all you have to do is flip the MiLi open, and shove your Appley device in the space that the lens unit took up.

It will play nice with an iPhone or iPod of any type – you can even hook it up to other sources via the AV in/out function.

It includes stereo speakers which is handy to share the sound as well as the vision.

It charges via USB, and a 3-hour charge will give you 1.5 hours of viewing time. It’ll also charge any device that’s plugged into it, including the ability to charge non-Apple mobile phones.

The MiLi iPhone Projector costs £230 and should be available now.

Maplock – GPS Anti-theft Device for Those Stupid Enough to Leave it on Their Windscreen

by Jay Garrett on December 4, 2009

gpsmaplockCorrect me if I’m wrong.

Most GPS devices are portable. They’ll slip into your hand/man bag, pocket, or at least into your cars locking glovebox.

The fact that even when people remove their TomTom or Garmin and shove it under their car-seat (yeah – I know your secret hiding place!) they leave the dock on their windscreen. Now, I’m not a thief but even I’d see that as a flag that commands ‘Chances are there’s a GPS hidden under the drivers seat’!

Even when folk do remove the cradle they leave the tale-tale ring mark left by the sucker. Suckers!

Maplock is here to prevent your GPS going walkies whilst pandering to the laziness of most motorists.

Maplock simply hooks onto your GPS and tethers it to your steering wheel.

The clever anti-theft idea is just like those steering-wheel locks and comes from Australian-based Who-Rae, and recently won Popular Mechanic’s Editor’s Choice award at the SEMA car show.

There’s no word on pricing or availability as yet.
