The Pocket-Sized Projector Has Arrived

mallumax writes "David Pogue of New York Times has reviewed the Pico, which is a pocket projector from Optoma. The review is quite entertaining (Pogue projects the images on to a plane's ceiling, leaving passengers baffled) and detailed. The highlights are: It is a pocket-sized projector which runs on batteries and can project images and videos from a variety of sources like iPhone, iPod and DVD players with a 480x320px resolution, with a maximum screen size of 65 inches at 8.5 feet. It uses a non-replaceable 10,000 hour LED lamp and a DLP chip from Texas Instruments. The battery lasts for 90 minutes and can be recharged through USB or with its own power cord. The device weighs 115g and comes with an inbuilt speaker which is practically useless. If you want one, it will set you back by $430."

Obama?

the election must have taken its toll on me i swear the article summary said "projector from Obama" not "projector from Optoma". Anyways, I'm glad to see this technology finally reach the consumer at an affordable price. Next in line, perfecting the airscreen.

The "g" was lower case, so I can only assume he was referring to Apollo, or perhaps Thor.

Although why he's asking characters from popular Scifi Channel series to bless them is beyond me.

Only pocket sized?

I feel sorry for the guy. You should desire a projector longer than your pocket.
