The ultra compact Optoma Pico projector PK101 with TI-DLP technology has been available from amazon online (listed as EP-PK-101) for quite some time now. The package bundled with an iPod/iPhone/iTouch enabled docking to enable video and audio to the Optoma, the manufacturer has today announced a new breed of much dedicated A/V cable with similar function for the use of Apple products.
The DWA010 is Apple iPod/iPhone AV cable accessory, designed to enable its video and audio outputs via a single mini cable connection to the Optoma PK101 pico projector. The cable is 960mm in length and has an adjustable volume control near the end of the cable. It’s available some time this week in Japan for a mere 600 yen ($6.60).
Technically, the mini projector has native resolution of 480×320, it’s lower than the supported video outputs from your iPod/iPhone that’s reaching 480 horizontal lines of resolution. The cable is composite type video format, carries additional audio signal and has a single connector for output, it’s quite common for nowadays small form factor multimedia players.

Looks great. Does it have a 3-in-1 connection at the end that plugs into the Optoma?
+1Does the bit that plugs into the Apple act as a speaker or does this require a connection to external speakers
Finally, where in Japan will be selling this device.

The answers are within the article and linked references, but we don’t have a precise location in Japan where you can gather the cable. The Japanese press release did mention it will be available in major retailers.
The cable packed both audio and video signals in one, with an additional volume control, that’s the 3-in 1 small form factor cable you are referring to, and the Optoma has an integrated 0.5 watts speaker built in.
