Wireless carrier Vodafone Spain has recently announced the launch of a new device for its users, namely the SHOWWX pico projector. The carrier also added that the new innovative portable projector comes from Microvision Inc., a leading ultra-miniature projection display and image capture products provider all around the world.

The new SHOWWX pico projector has been designed to make use of revolutionary laser-based display technology, which enables it to deliver large, colorful and vivid images. Moreover, the device can project images that are in focus at all times, no matter the projection distance, the company announced. “We are proud that Vodafone Spain sells the SHOWWX for its customers. We believe that SHOWWX will provide a truly enhanced visual experience to Vodafone’s customers and greatly enhance functionality of their mobile devices,” Alexander Tokman, president and CEO of Microvision said.

The new device is a plug-n-play pico projector that offers users on the go the possibility to easily view and share various content, including mobile TV, movies, photos or presentations. The pocket-sized projector can be carried anywhere, plugged into portable media players, mobile phones or notebooks, or to any other mobile device that sports TV-Out or VGA functionality. The projected images can range from 12” to 150”, depending on the ambient light.

“The introduction of the Microvision SHOWWX laser pico projector in Spain presents a great opportunity for Vodafone to offer our customers new and exciting display capabilities to enhance the experience with their mobile devices,” explained Ignacio Roman, head of Terminals Spain and Portugal at Vodafone.

The new SHOWWX pico projector is available for Vodafone's customers from €289 (without vat). Moreover, users will be able to get it through the Points Program, which means that it will be cheaper. At the same time, the wireless carrier also noted that it will market the new device along with the Nokia N97 mini handset.
