Optoma To Be First With Tiny DLP Projector
We have covered our fair share of tiny - or pico - projectors here on Gizmodo but to date, most of it has be a bit foggy over who will deliver what, and when. Now, it looks like projector house, Optoma, will be the first out the door with a real product based on Texas Instruments’ mini-DLP technology, DLP Pico. You can see an early demo of DLP Pico technology here. The miniature standalone projector - which you can see above - weighs just 4ozs and will go on limited sale in Europe and Asia at the end of this year with a full rollout in early 2009. The Optoma Pico will be able to project images up to “100 times larger” than you’d see on source devices like iPods, smart phones, and digital cameras. Great fun at parties and very handy for those that present a lot for work. Optoma’s director of product management, Jon Grodem, commented: “The Pico Projector is the next step in sharing visual media for today’s ultra-mobile consumer. Fitting in your shirt pocket, the Pico Projector can display pictures, videos or any content from a mobile media player or smart phone. Optoma’s Pico breaks free from the limitations of the 2-3in displays found on today’s mobile devices. This category defining projector creates a new benchmark for sharing content-on-the-go.” There’s no price yet but obviously, we’ll be looking forward to testing one of these little tykes come Q4.-Martin Lynch projector pmp video geek
