MAKE: Blog: iPod video projector

iPod video projector

Instructables has another great how-to on building a small iPod video projector. I am not sure about the brightness of the final product, but it does not require any other light-source besides the the iPod itself. The information about the lens system is a good read, and may be useful in other projects. - Link
