Incorporating its innovative ViewDock technology across another product line, ViewSonic today announced the world’s first High Definition, fully-featured, multifunction, ‘Made for iPod,’ DLP front projector.

The PJ258D brings new digital lifestyle entertainment options to iPod enthusiasts with video by giving them the portable display technology to take viewing experiences from ‘pocket’ size to life-size, without the need of a computer.

Studies have shown that iPod users are three times as likely to download video clips, movies and Web casts to their computers, making the PJ258D perfect for sharing personal media content, says ViewSonic. Mimicking the sleek design of the iPod and weighing less than 4 pounds, the PJ258D is a portable powerhouse ideal for teens, young adults, home theatre enthusiasts, and business professionals looking to bring the benefits of their digital media content to any environment - from living room walls and basements, to well-lit hotel rooms and conference rooms.

Much like the iPod, the PJ258D was designed with ease of use and versatility in mind. The docking station connects the iPod with video directly to the projector to eliminate the need for a computer to project video content. In addition, it charges the iPod’s battery while digital content is being played to make hours of entertainment possible. The projector also supports other popular digital media through its multiple connectivity options, including S-Video and VGA, which enable users to quickly connect to PCs, DVD players and video game consoles.

“Advances in digital technology have produced a new generation of consumers who want their information and entertainment to be as instant, as mobile and as real as they are,” said Mel Taylor, vice president of marketing, ViewSonic EMEA. “The PJ258D is ViewSonic’s latest example of how innovative technology can meet these demands to continually redefine how people access, view and bond over sharing favourite content.”

Built on Texas Instruments’ award-winning DLP platform, the PJ258D boasts a 1024x768 XGA resolution, 2000 ANSI Lumens brightness and a 2000:1 contrast ratio. The PJ258D will be available in Q1 through authorised ViewSonic professional audio-visual resellers. Pricing and warranty for the UK and Ireland has yet to be confirmed.
