Nikko Home Electronics has created a DVD player that looks and moves like R2D2 — with a remote shaped like the Millenium Falcon. The specs aren’t bad: a claimed projection area of up to 6.6m; built-in DVD and CD players; analog and digital video and audio ports; various memory card orifices, and an internal iPod dock. Favorite feature: tilt the legs to adjust the projection height, up to and including projection on the ceiling.
