Most projectors are kind of lame & could be viewed as aiding and abetting ‘death by powerpoint’. We do our best to ignore them, but the Microvision Show, shown at CES 2008, seems interesting. The Show Pico Projector is a hand-held, battery powered, RGB laser projector capable of throwing a 848×480 image onto a surface up to 10 feet away. $200-300. MVIS is working with MOT to embed the things into Motorola phones in about 2009. Good as a second display or for showing iPod videos or augmented reality apps. Details re their Bi-axial MEMS Scanning Mirror thing at the link below.
