comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

The wait is over, assuming you've been waiting all year for WowWee's Cinemin Swivel pico projector that was first shown off at CES 2009 in January.

Previously available for pre-order in the U.S. and Europe, the projector is now in stock at Amazon.com for a little under $300. What the three Benjamins gets you in return is a pocket sized projector that swivels on a 90-degree hinge. According to the manufacturer, the Cinemin can beam a "crisp" 60-inch image from over 8 feet away.

At the heart of the Cinemin is Texas Instruments' DLP projection technology. The projector boasts a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 8 ANSI lumens, an LED light source, and up 135 minutes battery life with a 180-minute recharge time.

So what's the verdict - would you pay $300 for this thing? Sound off in the comments section below!

Not going to buy a $300 pocket projector with 8 lumens when I can buy a $700 720p with enough lumens to be usable (e.g. at least a couple hundred lumens).
