Brookstone fits crisp, bright HD projection in the palm of your hand with the HDMI Pocket Projector

MERRIMACK, N.H., June 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Brookstone, the multichannel specialty retailer and product development company, today introduced the Brookstone HDMI Pocket Projector, a rechargeable, portable device that projects movies, presentations and games with a crisp image up to 60" on any flat surface. The new HDMI Pocket Projector uses an 85 lumen LED light source and advanced DLP technology to deliver a bright, clear 1080p HD image.

Portability with performance

The Brookstone HDMI Pocket Projector is powered by Texas Instrument's DLP and utilizes the same technology found in the world's largest projectors, except it is now optimized to fit the smallest form factor.  Combining a bright LED light source, fully integrated speakers, and onboard battery power, Apple®, Android™, and Windows® smartphones or tablets are immediately transformed into a crisp, high-definition viewing experience.  Get the most out of all HDMI-supported devices by easily connecting a computer, video player, game console, digital camera and more. 

With more than two hours of battery life and built in audio, movies and games are truly portable. The Brookstone HDMI Pocket Projector provides the same brightness and detail when running on the battery as when it is plugged in.
