Especially as everybody's got one already...
I say fail...]]>Aug 27th 2008 7:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/27/epson-releases-moviemate-55-projector-with-built-in-dvd-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/27/epson-releases-moviemate-55-projector-with-built-in-dvd-player/
As for the native resolution, the unit should be 720x480 from what I recall.

But the DivX certification and USB flash drive support gives this one pretty high marks.]]>Aug 27th 2008 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/27/epson-releases-moviemate-55-projector-with-built-in-dvd-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/27/epson-releases-moviemate-55-projector-with-built-in-dvd-player/mount a plasma on your car back can't be so hard, and you can see in bright day.

No seriously, If you can bring a projector, you wouldn't mind bringing your laptop.

Wait, for that price you can't even buy a MacBook and netbooks don't have DVD drives......

So... Epson is actually visionary.

Built in speakers with sufficient power to feed a classroom. Score!

This is perfect for schools that are replacing legacy "TV stands" (carts with TVs and VCR/DVD players) with bigger and more versatile projectors. The USB in means taking digital content from premium online services (like UnitedStreaming) and porjecting it won't need an expensive laptop that really has just been getting used as an expensive media player.

This WILL sell to schools in good numbers.]]>Aug 27th 2008 8:52PM
