Don't let your instinctual attraction to glossy items fool you. While the PJD2121 pico projector on the right is certainly the shiniest, it's ViewSonic's WPG-350 wireless gateway that we're digging the most. Assuming you've pre-installed the appropriate software onto the pertinent Windows / OS X machine, connect the bridge to a VGA display of some sort, and stream all the 1024 x 768 presentation content you want over 802.11b/g/n WiFi. Sure, it's not HD, but at $199, it's not the worst value, either, and it's still half-lustrous on the top. Looking back at the projector, the little DLP shiner boasts 800 x 600 output, 400 lumens, and a 1,800:1 contrast ratio. A $499 price tag definitely undercuts the
Samsung offering we saw yesterday, but it's still way pricey for SVGA.

800 x 600 output? ITs ALL EAs FAULT! Screw EA for blocking features!

Our office has a projector that connects via wifi. We've had it about 4 years. It's 802.11b which is fine for presentations, but a little laggy for video. But still, I had no idea these existed until I started working here.
On a slightly different topic...
I was talking with a friend who recently saw a segment on an ABC news program about a $100 pico projector. I've been living in the north woods for the past few months with out reliable internet access, and was curious if these really existed at that price point yet...
Not bad.
