Even better, 15% of the purchase price goes to charity, which should help you to feel better when the case's beauty draws looks of jealousy from PC users.

It will pipe video from the iDevice and throw it onto the wall at any size up to 60-inches (from 10-feet away). Contrast is a decent 1000:1, the image has a 854 x 480 resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio, and the Texas Instruments-made DLP projector beams out 16 ANSI lumens.
It might sound to you like the size and shape of the projected image is unsuited to the rather more square shape of the iPad and iPhone displays. You’d be right, but not to worry: there are also mini-HDMI and AV ports for hooking up laptops and other video gear.

Pentax has leaped to a commanding lead over many rivals when it comes to image sensor performance with its latest high-end SLR, the K-5. Pentax's 16.3-megapixel, $1,600 flagship camera also will face a new range of full-frame rivals for those willing to pay a significantly higher price. Canon's 5D Mark II, Nikon's D700, and Sony's A850 are relatively elderly, and it will be a surprise if their successors don't feature sensors with compelling, new image quality at their heart.
