Aitpek Pocket Projector Can Probably Shine Larger Than Your TV
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 9:58 AM on June 6, 2008
Continuing an increasingly apparent trend at Computex, Aiptek is planning to show their new PocketCinema V10 mini-projector. Details are still a little slim at the moment, but Aiptek has released a basic spec set, claiming a support for MPEG-4 video, JPEG stills, a 3-in-1 input jack (that's as specific as they get), 1GB of onboard storage, and SD/MMC/MS Pro expansion capability.
What Aiptek means by 50 inches, though, isn't clear.. A 50-inch image is theoretically possible with any small projector, but not without serious degradation and fade. Since there are no details as to the brightness and resolution of the 3M-based unit the claim must be taken with a grain of salt.

Big is rarely an issue with projectors. Resolution and brightness are the important factors.

I own a Aiptek HD Cam and it is great. Video quality is respectable and It was under $100.00. I dont think it looks like a cheap looking piece of plastic either.

@Jones Foyer: She lied about the "size doesn't matter" thing.
I'd settle for a reasonable projector with the same footprint as the Artigo. Wii-mote sized wouldn't be bad either. That said, I wouldn't want to sacrifice on the brightness as much as all of these tiny projectors do.

So the nerd of the future will be synonymous with his trusted pocket projector as opposed to the nerds of the past who were known for their pocket protectors...

Why isn't any quoting retail pricing for these things? It must be way to expensive to even think about at this point.
