ASUS P2B projector & wireless hard drive

ASUS have been busy announcing a few new products at Computex.

A couple of interesting ones that caught our eye in the mobile space are the ASUS P2b projector and the ASUS Wireless Duo.

We have ranged portable projectors before here at Clove, as well as ranging the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Beam that has a projector built in.

The requirement for such has been fairly limited to date, but with the increasing use of mobile devices with more media and many mid-high end handsets now offering video out the P2B projector is perhaps the first of a new wave of portable projection solutions.

With a 350 lumen output from a long life LED, the light source is designed to power up instantly whilst cooling down rapidly before packaging away for transportation.

Capable of projecting a 42 inch (diagonal) image from just one meter away from the projection surface the image is displayed at a resolution of 1280 x 800.

Connectivity is key to the P2B projector as is the portability.  ASUS have integrated a D-Sub (VGA) input and a HDMI/MHL port; allowing compatible handsets to even be charged from the projector.

Images, videos and most office document formats can also be read directly from USB storage devices and microSD cards. Built-in speakers allow you to get audio too.

The P2B’s lithium-ion battery lasts for up to 90 minutes at the maximum 300-lumen brightness setting, but turn the brightness down and increase the battery life.

We will bring you more news on this potentially handy accessory as and when we have it available.

In addition to the projector, ASUS have also announced the Wireless Duo which as the name suggests is a wireless storage devices with options of 500GB or 1TB internal storage.

The Wireless Duo can be used an external storage option for smartphones and tablets, potentially saving internal memory on your mobile device.

Music and video can also be streamed from Wireless Duo in a variety of popular formats.

There is support for Android, iOS, and Windows, plus it is easy to share files with up to five difference devices concurrently. 

A built-in SD card slot provides a one-click card-to-hard drive backup option and gives instant access to photos taken with a digital camera, removing the need to carry multiple memory cards. Wireless Duo also features USB 3.0 for super-fast file access over a wired connection with compatible devices and a built-in battery for up to six hours of media streaming.
