hey I'm Matthew Muscovy AK from C net and we're gonna take a quick first look at the 3m streaming projector this is a battery-powered projector that's small enough to fit in your hand and it also features an integrated Roku streaming stick so you can wirelessly stream Netflix Amazon Instant Hulu Plus basically anything that's on roku from the front it's a pretty standard looking portable projector with a built-in speaker and a mini jack output on the side for headphones or an external speaker on the back there's a slot for the removable Roku streaming stick which is included and that fits snuggly and a custom compartment so it's not sticking out the back of the projector the Roku stick can next to the projectors mhm L port so you can actually take out the Roku and plug in any other MHL gadget or an HDMI device since MHL is backwards compatible with HDMI and conversely you can take the Roku streaming stick and plug it into a TV or an AV receiver that supports MHL although there aren't that many compatible devices on the market the Roku streaming stick also has built-in dual band Wi-Fi so you can stream all the content sources available on roku wirelessly which includes Netflix Amazon Instant Hulu Plus MLB TV Vudu HBO Go Pandora there are over 600 channels the streaming projector itself has a built-in rechargeable battery that's quoted to last up to two hours and 45 minutes which is plenty of time to get through most movies it has an 800 by 480 resolution which is basically DVD quality it's not high def and a 60 lumen light output which is reasonably bright if you've got the lights turned off 3m also says it can project up to a hundred and twenty inches so pretty much anywhere you've got a large flat surface you're going to be able to watch movies with this thing the 3m streaming projector will be available exclusively at Amazon for $300 and it starts shipping on October 22nd I'm going to do a lot more hands-on testing with the streaming projector before the full review but this is definitely a cool device and I'm pretty impressed with it out of the box I'm Matthew Muscovy AK from C net and this is the 3m streaming projector you
