Sometimes having to wait a while to see something is a good thing. If it is still around a year after you requested it then it probably does the job it is meant to, sometimes however the world has moved on. Here I am looking at a very small projector...

Is that a film in your pocket? Fun, up to a point. One of the gadgets weve always fancied is a mobile phone with a film projector built in. The Pocket Cinema V10 is the next best thing: a battery powered, palm-sized portable projector that you can...
