Mitsubishi LED Projector

Chait Gear reports, via Slashdot:

If you’ve always wanted a front projector that you could take with you anywhere, the upcoming PocketProjector from Mitsubishi might just be what you’ve dreamed of.

Certainly rating as one of the smallest projection units out there, the new Mitsubishi PocketProjector is a tiny 14oz powerhouse of a projector. A unit small enough to fit in your hand, run off batteries or car adapter, yet create a 20″ screen with only one foot of throw.

The PocketProjector can drive 800×600 SVGA resolution through its Lumileds tri-LED DLP system, rated at over 20,000 hours of lamp life. And it sports composite, s-video, and VGA connectors, great for visualizing anything from a laptop presentation to a portable DVD player. Heck, with a digital camera that has AV output, you can set up a virtual slide show no matter where you are – well, so long as you have a clean, flat, white surface to project onto. ; )

The PocketProjector will be available in July at an SRP of $699 US – not cheap certainly, but a fair price for an SVGA projector with multiple inputs, multiple portable power solutions, and that is pocketable. They’ll also be selling battery packs for the unit, plus ’solutions’ of cables/etc. for different users/industries. Hopefully as soon as they’re ready, we’ll get one in for testing. I know a LOT of people who’d jump at a mini projector like this…
