Those looking for a little wireless connectivity from their projector now have yet another option to consider from Hitachi, which has just introduced its new CP-X417 model. Apart from that desirable-but-increasingly-common feature, the projector will give you a standard XGA resolution, along with 3,000 ANSI lumens of brightness, a full range of inputs (minus HDMI, it seems), and a promised 3,000 hours of lamp life in "whisper mode," not to mention a built-in 7 watt speaker. At just $900, it also shouldn't throw your budget off too much and you should be able to get your hands on one right now.

what's with all this projector talk? seems like that was the bulk of the tech news for the day
It still needs a power cable :)
Party Pooper. ;)
Mix a little bit uh Nikola Tesla in there and it's covered.
Power is easy. Plug into any available power outlet.
Getting video cables from an A/V rack to an inconveniently-located projector: less easy.
The CPX417 includes HDMI
Three thousand hours lamp life sounds great but, it is the time till the lamp will be outputting on HALF of its original brightness. Lamp replacement is a significant cost of projector ownership.
There are some new Diamond Lamps which are about 10% cheaper and have the bulb from the original manufacturer who supplied the projector manufacturer. There's more info at http://www.presentationtek.com/2008/01/09/replacement-projector-lamps-and-bulbs/
