The Cinemin Swivel by WowWee is a small, multimedia projector. It uses TI’s DLP technology to project a clear 60″ image from eight feet away, or it can fill the wall, floor-to-ceiling, in a typical room. The Cinemin connects to a variety of “personal media players”, including the iPod, iPhone, Flip Video, PSP, digital cameras, portable DVD players, netbooks, and smartphones with video-out functionality using the included cables. It can connect to some other devices, including the Zune, with special device-specific connectors. The Cinemin Swivel has a hinge that swivels 90 degrees to adjust your angle of projection without requiring a tripod. It has built-in speakers and a headphone jack. The Cinemin has a rechargeable battery that lasts for 2 hours, and it comes with an A/C adapter. WowWee is backordered until 2010 online, but they have a list of retailers that may still have the Cinemin in stock. Amazon.com is offering the Cinemin (through a third-party) for $299.95.

For something even better, check out the Adapt 305 pocket projector: http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2009/11/03/adapt-305-pocket-projector-review/
The real question with these devices is what is the bulb life and how much will replacement bulbs (assuming they CAN be replaced) cost? 2000 hours is not unusual in traditional projectors, so I’m a little dubious about Cinemin’s claim of 20,000 hours.
