I'd be a lot more inclined to believe it if I saw photos of the images being projected on a wall. Somehow I don't believe that tiny projector will look too good.

The really cool thing about how digital technology has changed the world is that by the time you buy this dumb plastic toy and just 9 of those little wheels, you could buy this pico-projector and project all of the pictures you'll ever take. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001L4L7AQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?qid=...
And anyway, I really don't think guys at Projecteo are aiming at those in the market for a portable projector. Yeah it is a borderline toy I guess, but that doesn't mean it's 'dumb'. Seems cool as a quick little gift for someone, it has that charm/novelty factor that everyday people will like.
No need to dismiss it solely because it's technically inferior to a serious $130+ device, they're both aimed at totally different people.
I will be reminded of how completely out of touch I am with reality these days if this does well. That said, I somewhat jokingly predicted this trend previously. With the explosive growth of digital information and electronics, I think we'll see a renaissance of analog, mechanical, and otherwise "physical" things. Perhaps sometimes people don't want everything to be electronic/digital? Example: digital photo frames.

Except it's three times more expensive. And anyway, I really don't think guys at Projecteo are aiming at those in the market for a portable projector.

And is this a serious attempt at another revenue stream or a way of adding customers to their user base?

With the explosive growth of digital information and electronics, I think we'll see a renaissance of analog, mechanical, and otherwise "physical" things. I've also mentioned this to people, however, not jokingly but in all seriousness. I think it might have something to do with engaging the senses. The more senses you can uniquely engage, the stronger yo…
A friend of mine has an app for iPad and AppleTV that mimics the old slide projectors called "The Carousel" (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/carousel-slide-projector-for...). Basically, it uses the iPad like an old slide projector (complete with the chunk chunk sounds, visuals, and controls), and then "projects" the slides to AppleTV (which is then made to look like a projector screen). And I believe it also streams the pictures from Instagram, but I'm not positive.

I've been trying to put my finger on exactly what this brings to mind. I think I have it. This is "singing fish" level technology.
Actually, that's not a bad idea. Anaglyphic or polarized 3D would be cool, too.
