Aiptek debuts USB-powered T20 pico projector, T30 model for iPods

Aiptek isn't dishing out a ton of details on these just yet, but the company has two fairly interesting pico projectors on display at CES, including the flask-like, USB-powered T20 model (pictured above), and the T30 (after the break), which is apparently intended for use with iPods and iPhones. About all that's known about the first of those is that it can display VGA images at sizes up to 42-inches, while the T30 can pump out a slightly larger 50-inch image, and boasts some AV-in recording capabilities -- and, presumably, some internal storage, much like the company's earlier V10 model. Incidentally, that model has also now been upgraded to the V10 Plus (which adds 4GB of memory and H.264 decoding), and Aiptek has also rolled out its new DDV-JF1 pico projector / camera, although that appears to be identical to DigiLife's model, right down to the model number.

if it's hand sized then it makes perfect disguise b/c ppl would think that you are carrying a flask instead

Wow

The echos really project in here

[ET @ Jun 5th 2009 4:10PM]

Would the bulb be $300 like the regular projectors?

[barry99705 @ Jun 5th 2009 4:27PM]

Naa, it's soldered in, you just replace the whole projector. Like those lexmark printers.

[Eddie @ Jun 5th 2009 4:28PM]

Probably. The projector will cost $50, and the bulbs will cost $300, and have to be replaced about once every other month. Inkjet printers have NOTHING on this racket.....

[Rik Feilden @ Jun 5th 2009 4:53PM]

It's LED based guys...

[SPOKE @ Jun 5th 2009 4:41PM]

So in other words, it's a piece of poop.

[superhobo @ Jun 6th 2009 6:04AM]

Aiptek T20 is superb piece of kit. The picture quality is excellent and much crisper with this new digital connection they have. You can read powerpoint right down to really low font sized quite clearly. Although its only 8 lumens it punches well above its weight compared to other pico projectors at even 17 - 20 lumens which for a pocket projector is excellent and more than good enough for most business presentations. The best part is though is the price plus its super lightweight (weighs around same as a mobile phone) as it has no battery and draws power from the laptop. The USB connectivity is also a bonus as you dont have to carry heavy VGA cables. Its not due for launch until Sept 09 but its in stock already at www.personalprojector.co.uk. Also take a look at the new 3M Mpro 120 which comes out in early Sept and is available for pre-order.
