BenQ Wednesday announced the launch of its mini projector Joybee GP2 in India. This palm-sized projector is meant to provide the big screen experience from a portable device. It comes with an iPhone/iPod compatible dock and is 720p HD ready.

According to BenQ, the new Joybee GP2 features a power-efficient 3LED projection technology, and can project for 30,000 hours in the eco mode without any decrease in the brightness. It also supports varied range of inputs such as HDMI, PC/AV connector as well as SD card and USB reader.
