Samsung enters pico-projector market

We’ve seen our fair share of pico projectors over the past couple of months – who could forget the AAXA L1 or the 3M MPro150? But Samsung might have something special with its new SP-H03 pico projector.

For a device that could initially be mistaken for an old Polaroid camera, the SP-H03 is a sleek piece of kit. The gadget features 1GB of internal memory which is expandable by another 16GB using the microSD expansion slot. Shining at a scintillating 30 lumens, the SP-H03 pushes out WVGA (854×480) video which will make it easier to look past the pathetic 1W speaker.

The best feature about this device is it support for open and proprietary codecs alike – we’re talking AVI, MP4, ASF, MPG, RM, FLV, WMV video files and MP3, MP2, WAV, WMA, FLAC, APE, RA audio files.  Keep that charger handy because the 2-hour battery life will keep you searching for your nearest plug socket. At a remarkable 6 ounces, the SP-H03 occupies dimensions of 2.5 x 1.5 x 2.5 inches.

Unfortunately, the $300 price tag isn’t all that cheap, but a lot of that is down to the “coolness” factor. Expect the product to be available later this month.

For a better all round look, be sure to check out the video after the jump. There’s more to this piece of gadgetry than meets the eye…

   I like the video, it really shows off the size of the SP-H03.
   However, even though this product looks smart (especially with the blue display on the top) the features you would most like about a projector are lacking. Compared to say, an Adapt 450 (pro).
   The Adapt is brighter (100 lumens) with better speakers (2x 2w) it has better connectivity (USB, SD Card, AV) and has the option to come with in built digital TV. It also is compatible with a wide range of picture, audio and video formats.
