NEC NP600S/NP500WS Projectors
NEC’s NP500WS and NP600S are LCD based short-throw projectors that are ideal for usage wherever there is a space curtailment. The high-brightness, multifunction projector is useful for presentations during meetings.
The fixed short-focus lens enables ultra short distance projection. For an 80-inch screen used in meeting corners, it is possible to project from a distance of 1.20-metres for the NP600S, and 1.28-metres for the NP500WS respectively.
The projector’s WXGA panel (1280 x 800) displays the same wide-format WXGA resolution images such as laptop computers and DVDs. They are very easy to use and one just has to connect a LAN cable to the LAN port on the projector, to control the latter from a remote computer via the network.
Some of the other features are auto power on, quick start and direct power off, auto vertical keystone correction, and built-in 7W speaker.

Be Mobile
London-based World Mobi has expanded into the Middle East, enabling hoteliers to maximise online presence and reach more consumers via mobile devices.
The mobile services provider currently operates a portfolio of hospitality-related mobile websites, including more than 600 interactive city guides. These websites provide travellers with destination information and news direct to their mobile phones.
The mobile internet is a new marketing channel that is predicted to generate US $150 billion by 2011, according to World Mobi.
Mobile websites are specifically designed and tailored for the internet on mobile devices and formatted for the smaller screen size. They are therefore quicker to download and allow users to search for information with fewer clicks and scrolls.
Said Rhiannon Downie, World Mobi sales manager: “Having a mobile web presence adds value for guests, while also being a key differentiator in today’s crowded marketplace. This service will provide the continuous flow of information that consumers have become accustomed to receiving”.
