Fancy waggling in the car, on an aeroplane or playing Wii Sports on the beach. Now you can with a swanky 7-inch screen.
The screen comes equipped with the Wii in mind. No wires, no mess. With a built in sensor bar and shaped to slot into the rear-end of the machine, the device snugly wraps its 16:9 LCD Screen around the Wii's already teeny body.
- Screen: 7 inches TFT LCD
- Resolution: 480(W) X 234(H)
- PAL/NTSC (auto switching)
- Flip picture upside-down for creative mounting options.
- Auxiliary Stereo AV Connection (3 x RCA) - for connecting other video devices.
- Power Source: 12 VDC (Car Cigar Lighter Adaptor Included).
At an RRP of $109.99 (£65), it's quite a decent bargain for those wanting their home console on the move.

Sweet. Bigger screen and and a hand/solar charger/battery pack next.
Good idea. I wonder how much power the wii consumes (would be a lot less if nintendo had their way and were still using solid state).

There are already around ten or so different screens which have been out for more than a year now, some look better. It joined the portable market a long while ago now.
The best I have seen was at last years CES, that one was sleek and minimal and matched Wii\'s design perfectly.
I am thinking about getting one of these portable Wii Projectors instead.

It's not chunky, cumbersome or ugly.
That's what I like about it.
Less posty, more gamey.

I had one of these thingies for my Gaymkyoob. I don't think I'll be getting one this time around though.

hmm without a decent battery it's a no thank you for me. But if they make one with a battery in it and possibly a better build screen - then I'd be interested 
480 x 234 for a 7 inch screen is a bit pathetic...

You won't notice the bad resolution, Wii's graphics are barely past N64 standard.

Wow.......that screen really exels at taking what tiny amount of reputaion nintendo has over Sony/Microsoft in terms of resolution, and just destroys it.

While it does look cool, the screen is way too small for me. I never liked these portable screens.
