3M has just unveiled a pair of new mobile projectors here at CES: the Mobile Projector MP410 and MP220. Both devices are notably small and compact: the MP410 measures just four inches in width and length, and stands just one inch tall, while the MP220 weighs in at less than one pound. The MP410 also features 1GB of memory, a microSD slot and USB port, and is capable of projecting 80-inch moving and still images at WXGA resolution, with a brightness of 300 lumens. The MP220, meanwhile, can beam up to 65-inch images onto any flat surface and comes packed with 2GB of memory, along with a brightness of up to 50 lumens. Both are slated to arrive in April, with the MP410 priced at $600 and the MP220 coming in at $480. We stopped by 3M's booth at Pepcom this evening to get a closer look at the devices, so check out our gallery below, or head past the break for the full PR.

drag2share: MetroPCS LG Connect 4G hands-on (video)

MetroPCS has had LTE longer than any other carrier in the US, and it's still rolling. At this year's Pepcom Digital Experience, the regional service provider had a couple new devices, one of which being the LG Connect 4G. The second LG handset on MetroPCS to offer the next-gen service (after the Esteem), the Connect is certainly less bulky and much more light to hold, with a 4-inch NOVA display in tow. Clocking in at 1.2GHz, it's also the first handset on the carrier's lineup that contains a dual-core CPU. Amongst these specs, the Connect 4G also sports a 5MP rear camera with LED flash and 720p HD video capture, and has a VGA front-facing cam. As much as we begged and begged, the reps wouldn't budge on pricing or an exact date, but we do know that it's going to be coming out sometime in February. And if MetroPCS isn't for you -- or if don't live in one of their areas of coverage -- you'll see the Connect as the LG Viper on Sprint as well. Check out the full gallery of images below and a hands-on video after the break.
