Nowadays, most people look for multi-functional gadgets, like a mobile phone that also features a camera and an MP3 player or a digital camera that also serves as a camcorder. They choose to get these gadgets for variety of reasons: 1. convenient since they don’t have to look for two or more separate gadgets 2. practical because everything is packed in one and 3. economical since they get to save money from getting another gadget. Looking at these 3 reasons, there’s no doubt why gadget manufacturers continue to introduce products that offer two or more functions like Aiptek.

Combining a mobile projector and camcorder in one, the Pocket Cinema Z20 is perfect for those people who are always on the go. As a mobile projector, it can be used either as a traditional projector or a multimedia projector. Traditionally, you can connect any device, like your gaming console, notebook/PC, iPod/iPhone, DV cam, and DVD player, to the AV-in and enjoy a real projector. While as a multimedia projector, you can use its integrated media player to store your videos, images, and music directly on the 2GB built-in memory or 32GB micro-SD card – no other devices required.

How about as a camcorder? Well, this one features a high definition 720P for remarkable video recording with a rate of 30 img/s. It also includes a 5M pixels sensor so you can capture still images and store them on the built-in 2GB memory, with expandable slot up to 32GB memory.
