A tiny gadget that delivers one big picture
Look up, way up. Now kick back and relax...
In case you missed our feature on great gadgets for the bedroom, here's another recommended one to consider.
iPhone lovers need not squint to watch videos on its small 3.5-inch display – that is, if you've got the WowWee Cinemin Swivel ($350; wowwee.com).
This pocket-sized projector ships with many adaptors for your tech products (such as a smartphone or laptop) and once inserted, you can watch movies, TV shows, music videos or YouTube clips on a nearby wall -- even up to 100-inches in diameter (before it starts to lose detail).
Powered by Texas Instruments' DLP technology, the Cinemin Swivel also houses integrated speakers so you can also hear the flick you're watching. (That said, a headphone jack is also included.)
So, why is this gadget so ideal for the bedroom, you ask? It's called the Cinemin "Swivel," because the teeny projector swivels at its centre 90 degrees, allowing you to point it upwards towards a ceiling. Now unless you've got something above your bed – be it a ceiling fan or, er, a mirror -- you can recline and watch videos from your iPhone on what is usually wasted real estate.
Neat, huh?
