Tech – Pocket Projector

There is a downside to the world of smart phones; despite all that Facebook and Twitter can offer. No matter how many pictures of scantily clad celebrities we are shown, no matter how many times YouTube displays to us the sneezing Panda… there is still a flaw. It’s a flaw that ruins your chances of becoming the most popular person in the room. It occurs when you have found that perfect YouTube video. The one which will impress that pretty women you’ve been eyeing up all night. If she sees it then she might even start a conversation with you. Oh Yeah! If she sees this video you won’t need to go up and embarrass yourself like a humiliation delivery boy. Oh No! She will have to collect it from the store! However, you need a way in. You need to generate excitement, so you show it to a stranger. They start laughing and everyone wants to come over now. Your catch is intrigued by the whole crowd of four people surrounding your screen. Intrigued, she begins to sidle over slowly as the laughter acts as bait. But as she gets closer the flaw shows itself and kills the moment. She hears the soundtrack to the video and doesn’t need anymore. She giggles and walks away and your chance is wrecked all because the screen is too damn small! TGJ understands your pain! It is a common affliction and seemed to be doomed to continue forever. However, because we are selfless and angelic creatures (honest!) we have found the solution to this:

It is the Pocket Projector Mobile and it is brilliant. However, on a serious note this carries a number of features that should make you want to buy it. This is an inherently professional device that actually cuts a lot of time out. The ability to stretch a screen to 80” is very clever as you could theoretically use this to give presentations off your smartphone/tablet or computer which does save you having to fanny around with wires and tech support. The picture quality is 1080p HDMI (as good as Sky Sports HD) and is strictly plug and play (no jokes about how Ann Summers can do this already). It has a lifespan of 2 hours (which is very decent); the batteries are rechargeable (even better) and it can be used as a charger for your phone (thank you Jesus!). The only issue with it is the HDMI cable which needs an AV adapter for iPhones (DAMN YOU JOBS!), however, apart from that we really like this machine and would recommend it to anyone who is bored of calling tech support when the big screen has a hissy fit.
