Samsung MBP200 Pico Projector

Samsung shed light on its new MBP200 Pico Projector today in Las Vegas at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show. The MBP200 is a pocket-sized projector that uses Texas Instruments' DLP pico chip. The MBP200 measures in at 107.3mm x 48.8mm x 19mm (4.2" x 1.9" x .75") and weighs only 160g (5.6oz).

The Samsung MBP200 is capable of projecting an image up to 50", though it also features a 2.2" QVGA (240x320 pixels) resolution display for private viewing. A microSD card slot is also included and the MBP200 can playback most video files directly from the memory card.

The Samsung MBP200 also features a standard 3.5mm audio port for personal headphones or an external speaker. Samsung plans to launch the MBP200 later this year, though pricing information was not announced.
