SourceIt's a common complaint — people love having video portable but can't stand those tiny screens. Well, a compromise is coming: Optoma's Pico projector. Now in the prototype stage, Optoma plans a limited release in Europe this summer with a worldwide rollout in 2009. Functioning as a mini projector for your cellphone or iPod, the Pico sprays images and video on any handy surface: a wall, airplane tray table or some dude's back.
The Optoma is the first pico projector with DLP technology (the same as in most projection TVs these days), which will probably make it look better than previous attempts at this idea. We'll wait to see for ourselves when it becomes available (no price yet), but we suspect the boys at Texas Instruments (who make DLP tech) will regret making it possible for mischievous teens to commandeer people's backs with images that say, "Kick me" and "No fat chicks." Thanks, TI, thanks.
LOL, I was just talking to a coworker on monday about how cool it would be to have a sort of mini projector that you can connect to your iPod
What about audio?
headphones sold seperately
Don't you think they'd fix that before release? lolWinston_Churchill wrote:

And headphones would kinda ruin the point of having a projector wouldn't they?
Depends, If on a plane, you wouldn't want them. In a condo or vacation spot, yes, or a port to plug 'em into..Winston_Churchill wrote:

I want to go on the planes you go on if you have the room to set up a projector, have enough distance from it to the next seat to make the projector worthwhile, and do so without completely pissing off anyone sitting near you.ReDevilJR wrote:

Right, we're going to be projecting our video all over airplanes and cars and, fuck it. I hate mainstream consumers, hate them all.
