Casio's XJ-A series portable projectors are both attractive and environmentally conscious

Here's something you don't see everyday: a projector with some sex appeal behind it. Casio's XJ-A Series is quite the looker by design. It's pretty slim, too, measuring 43 mm in height. Your green friends can enjoy knowing it's Merucury-free, and you can take solace in up to 3,000 lumens. Of the seven models in the lineup, two have WXGA and five XGA, and depending on your choice you'll get USB or WiFi connectivity and a price tag between ¥148,000 and ¥318,000, or $1,518 and $3,399 if converted to stateside currency. See? Not everything exciting has to come from CES this week.

You know what, I do have $1,51, but where do I find $0,0082?

Please please more LED projectors. 60,000 lamp life vs arc lamp projectors with 2000 hours of life that slowly dims to crap before that 2000 hrs is up, with a a somewhat vocal fan buzzing about.

Similar form factor as before (http://www.slipperybrick.com/2009/06/casio-unveils-four-new-ultra-thin-projectors/) but the case redesign and Merucury-free lamp are welcome, I suppose.

Not sure what he means by "See? Not everything exciting has to come from CES this week. "
This was shown at CES this week. I worked the CASIO booth and saw it demoed about 20 times a day for 4 days.....
