On the lookout for portable projection? Sure, us too. That's why we were pleased to see these new Oculon Hikari Pro1440 and Pro920 (pictured) projectors land in our tips box this morning. The pair can project a 15- or 20-inch display from a distance of just 2-feet. The $399 Pro1440 LCoS model throws 250 lumens across a 20-inch, 800 x 600 pixel display from Composite or D-Sub15 RGB connected sources including game consoles, laptops, and portable media players. Things drop down to 25 lumens across a 15-inch, 640 x 480 pixel display for the $299 Pro920 which measures just 86 x 44 x 85-mm. "World's tiniest," as Oculon claims? Maybe. At least until
TI and Microvision get their acts together. Pro1440 pictured after the break.

I don't think they could've chosen anyone who looks *more* like a knob than that guy!
I think I just found out a way to sue Engadget O.o
"Email addresses are never displayed, but they are required to confirm your comments."
What if I put it in my comment?!
Haha, just playing...
anywho, screw super thing screens, I can't wait for the day that my pen also projects a 50 inch wide high def image!
Can't wait to see the transformer...
oculon prime? (i'll get my coat)
not the first
Great for those with broken laptop screens -- sit this on the touchpad pointing at the broken lcd.
What about that cell-phone projector thing that was posted a while back? I guess it's not for sale yet, but still...
Still too big. I'm waiting on the Microvision cell phone projector.
250 lumens? Thats nothing! You'd need a pitch black room to use it reasonably, and it still wont look great. I know from experience. (My best projector is only 200 lumens and 640x480. If this thing runs off batteries I'm gonna kill myself...)
would this work if you throw it into a cardboard box with a white sheet on top of it? does it...
screw it - I just followed the link to the website - the title of the page says the following:
"Hikari Rro920, the World's tiniest projector!"
notice anything?
when you get past that you get to read:
"The special suggested retail launch pricing, $299 for the basic(VGA) model and $399 for the SVGA model, make the Hikari Pro920 is an affordable tool for those times."
still with me?
And finally at the bottom of the page:
"Hikari Pro920 will be available in December 2007 through online retailers and major retail channels at a suggested retail price of $199."
So please don't mind me if I wait for this next to the clearance tables :]
Now even after I wandered around a little more - I went to the main page and wound up at a completely different page than the one being linked - only the Pro1440 has the VGA D-Sub input - along with the misleading picture used to depict the projection size - this thing is a magnified camcorder viewer at best.
Thomas Ricker what the fuck man? come on!
