If you travel a lot like me, you know that the lighter something is the better. I don’t even bother carrying a data projector for that very reason, but it is a pain wrangling with various conference room projectors and hunting for the remote, or the video cable again and again. Wouldn’t it be nice to have something palm-sized that could get the job done and wow my audience in a nice cool gadget-y way? Enter the Pico projector.
The AAXA L1 is the next generation palmtop projector – boasting a new LCos (liquid crystal on silicon) technology that outclasses DLP in this form factor. What does that mean? 20-lumens 50-inch picture at 800 x 600 resolution and you don’t have to focus the imagine – the laser takes care of it for you.
Priced at $599 and going on sale February 12, 2010, the AAXA L1 has 160 MBs of internal storage, comes with a 2GB external USB memory stick for more storage goodness, boasts a 90 minute battery life, and will play video, audio and even word docs right from it’s own integrated media player. Translation: no more laptop if you dare.
