Hong Kong always gets the good stuff first. Witness the SunView PMP Projector... or more handily known as a PMPP. The little silver box is the first commercially available
pico projector -- created in by Sunlink International in collaboration with
iView Limited -- and is currently trickling out in small quantities (though there are plans to ramp up production). The device is an integrated PMP running Windows CE, is capable of producing a 640 x 480 projection, has an embedded 3.5-inch LCD display, and utilizes an SD slot for additional storage. There's no word on pricing -- or if this is going to make it onto our shores anytime soon -- though we're pretty sure a crafty importer can probably get one of these into your hands.

Will the battery even be able to cope with a full length movie?
Who wanna bet that we will have 1080p device small enough to fit in a ipod in less than 10 years?
My father use to have a top of the line sony CRT projector only 15-20 years ago and it was almost as big as a car... and it was more than 10k$ for a used unit....

the thing is tha was probibly all user servisable
Predictions:
-People projecting porn in church
-People projecting porn in public
-People fapping to projected porn in public
-People projecting movies in movie theaters
-People projecting Porn on school blackboards/ceilings/surfaces
Only the last one would be anywhere near likely to happen, and then even it probably won't since the students will get into deep shit. The other predicts just wont ever happen.
predictions:
pervs getting punched in the face
maby some snes emulators?
People already project movies in movie theatres.
Prediction:
Mini-missiles will be fitted onto the walls of movie theaters, bathrooms, and food courts to immediately blow the heads off anyone projecting japanese vomit porn. Beastality is excluded because, be honest, we're all a lil bit curious.
PicoPornProjection is, well... illumibating!
I think there are better uses than just viewing porn...
No, no there isn't
Micro- and Nano- projectors are so passe now Pico's the new boss in town... (but I'm holding out for the Femto-Projector, sure to be included in iPhone 2.0)
With PPP (personal porn projection) so close 'at hand', Engadget's illuminati readership suddenly becomes [wait for it...] illuminaughty!
"first commercially available pico projector"... "There's no word on pricing"
Umm... If there is no word on pricing, how can it be available?
available for steeling, coveting, commenting, etc.
because it's apparently available in Hong Kong and this is an American blog?
Oh wow, the porn idea is awesome and all, but is it really bright enough to shoot it onto a blackboard, or even a whiteboard for that matter? What would be funny is if someone hid it on a dark public street, and projected porn on the sidewalk blasting the sound from various places so they couldn't find it, and see how people react. That would be awesome if someone put it on youtube.
I think Explay's nano projector is far more better and goog looking!

Yes, but this actually exists.
That's a rather unfortunate name - Sun Microsystems had a graphical GUI on their workstations back in the 80s called SunTools which became SunView, then OpenView, then OpenLook.
@Tom Ritchford,
And in Hong Kong they don't exchange it for currency? Is it only available via barter system?
The fact is that if there is no porn, nobody will care for pico/nano/micro projectors.
