BERLIN -- Sony's announced a slew of new products including a $3,Kelly the Coed 1 (1999)200 Walkman, "the best-sounding" noise-canceling headphones and two new Xperia smartphones. But the coolest product on display is a portable projector concept.
Sony introduced the Xperia Projector at Mobile World Congress in February, but only showed off its proprietary software. At IFA 2016, Sony revealed it could also project Android apps -- any Android app.
SEE ALSO: Anybody wanna buy a $3,200 Sony Walkman?The projector is capable of beaming touchable projection up to 21-inches in size onto any surface and has a built-in camera for video conferencing.
Naturally, since the projector is powered by Android, I did the only thing anyone would care to do: played Fruit Ninja and browsed Mashable... on a kitchen table's surface top.
How was it? Really, impressive! The touchable projection was very responsive (at least on the hard kitchen table) and mostly smooth.

I easily slashed fruits to death and browsing Mashablevia Chrome was just like on a giant tablet where I could pinch and zoom with one hand or use multiple fingers to manipulate gestures.
The Xperia Projector is perfect for use cases like viewing maps and apps like Google Earth.
The projector can also be flipped on one side and positioned vertically to project a screen onto a wall, like so:
As always, Sony's projectors are pretty cool concepts, and there's no word on pricing and availability. But I have my fingers crossed since the short-throw projector I saw last year will finally launch in November.
