Handheld Portable Video Projector by 3M
The 3M MPro110 Portable Projector sounds really cool. It’s a handheld projector that is super tiny. At 5.6 ounces it fits in your hand and can project video onto a 640 x 480 screen. Imagine showing a movie on a wall or a plane from your iphone, portable video player, digital camera. I hear it’s good up to 3 x 3 feet or 50”
I am going to be all over this gadget and really want to try it out. 3M if you are listening please let me test one in the project gadget lab. My head is spinning with great applications for this from using inside cars, boats, planes, office, etc. The official product name is the 3M Micro Professional Projector MPro110.

What’s in the box (I hear you need a separate Apple iphone accessory to use with iphone) 
Radar Gun – Stalker Sport Cordless
I came across this while thinking about how they measure baseball pitch velocity and thought it might just be a fun gadget to have. You can simulate a police officer and check the speeds of oncoming cars (of course not really simulating them!). This model was a top of the line wireless version and has a long distance range.
Apparently the Stalker Sport SPO3 Cordless Premium Package Radar Guns is the #1 choice for Professional Baseball and other sports teams worldwide. I understand now that baseball scouts sit more than 200 feet away from the pitcher so having 3x the power of any competing radar gun, the Stalker SPORT is able to measure the ball speed up to 350 feet away!

Case (looks very James Bond)
Sony Video Walkman – Holds 62 hours of Video
This 16GB Sony Video Walkman looks cool. Normally would go with my iPhone but this portable video player seems like a nice design at $179. With a 2.4” screen, battery lasts 36 hrs when playing audio & 9.5 hr playing video. Sony’s 40% off video walkman promotion ends April 4th use coupon WALKMANSONY120 to reduce price from $299.
Digital Noise Canceling Headphones – Sony
The Sony MDR-NC500D Digital Noise canceling headphones look really nice. Sony claims they are the world's first headphones with digital technology for noise canceling. The adjust settings automatically based on your environment and offer 99% ambient noise reduction, lightweight and auto equalize. Check out Digital Noise Canceling Headphones MDR-NC500D
Canon EOS 40D Digital Camera on Steroids
What a great camera by Canon, the EOS 40D takes amazing images at incredible processing speeds. The heart of the camera is the 10.1M CMOS sensor and the Digic III processor. It’s a fancy way of saying it shoots at 6.5fps (yes, frames per second). My question is, how can you miss the shot with this digital camera? It also has stabilization and cleaning system.
The resolution is amazing as well. Here are some stats – RAW Image: Approx. 12.4 MB (3888 x 2592 pixels) and sRAW (Small RAW): Approx. 7.1 MB (1936 x 1288 pixels). If you have the means this is a great way to go!
Epic Stealth Video Camera for Action Sports STC-EPC1
I was looking for video gear and came across this Epic Stealth video camera and took a closer look. Inside is a 5 MP Still Image Digital Camera & 30 FPS Video Camera with SD Card access. The unit is waterproof and YouTube ready. At $139, who cares if it takes great images at it just sounds fun to own! Strap it on your bike handlebars, helmet, you get the idea!
Ipod 4GB Shuffle – Smallest Music Player in World
Apple just announced the new 4BG Ipod Shuffle that is not only the smallest music player (1.8” tall x .3”) in the world but has some cool new features. It has all controls on the earbud with Voiceover so you can navigate songs by voice. That is definitely great for working out, biking, skiing, etc. You get the picture right!

Sony HD 1080 Portable Handycam with Stabilization HDR-TG1
I saw this camera at the Sony store and was amazed at what they pack in a tiny and stylish package. It really is the perfect travel companion as it is both a portable high definition digital camcorder with stabilization but also a 4MP digital camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lenses. Capable of Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution video at 10x optical!
The Slim and lightweight design is only 8oz without the battery and the HDR-TG1’s body is constructed of high-quality pure titanium. If you have the money buy this and can’t think of another camera in its size that competes with it!
Flip Cam HD – Personal Review Videos
I purchased a Flip Cam Mino HD (@The Flip Store) and think it’s an excellent digital camcorder. I made a video opening the Flip Cam HD that you can check out. Also made a video using the Flip Cam HD so you can see the difference in quality, features and what’s in the box. My thoughts are that this has to be one of the easiest cameras to use and recommend this to anyone from
serious gadget collectors to families to capture those video moments. With 4GB flash memory, 60 min recording it’s great! The operation is very simple, you take out of the box and set the time/date and start shooting. I replaced my Sanyo Xacti 720 HD digital camcorder with this and already very pleased with results. The top has a flip out arm extension for USB and microphone in the front is very strong and accurate. I use a tripod or monopod to extend my arms reach when putting myself in the video, and yes I have a video of that as well! For the software it loaded automatically and had a simple editing tool and ability to merge films together to make a larger movie and import MP3 tracks for Music.
