Pico: Pocket Projector

David Pogue of New York Times has reviewed, Pico which is a pocket projector from Optoma. The review is quite entertaining(he projects the images on to a plane’s ceiling leaving passengers baffled) and  detailed. But if you don’t want to read through 2 pages of the review here are the highlights.

• Pcoket sized
• Can project videos from iphone,ipod,TV, DVD players etc
• In built speaker is useless
• Low brightness compared to desktop but still very useful
• Non replaceable 20,000 hour LED lamp
• 480×320px resolution
• 65 inches “screen”  maximum size
• Runs on battery. Battery life: 90 minutes
• Charges from USB or from its own power chord
• Price : 430 US$.
• Weight: 115g
• Contrast ratio: 10,000:1
• DLP chip from Texas Instruments
  

Full technical specifications are available on optomas site. Overall this seems like a killer product which has a very good chance of becoming  a blockbuster  and as more competitors enter the market we can expect the prices to fall.
