Anyone knows if the older ones, like the Optima Pico, have been successful?]]>Mar 8th 2010 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/you can watch Powepoints presentation on the airplane on "how to build a bomb on an airplane"]]>Mar 8th 2010 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/
I know, right? I WANT this... I just couldn't justify buying it. It seems a touch pricey for the resolution, too. I really like the idea of the technology and I hope it comes down in price.]]>Mar 8th 2010 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.personalprojectors.co.uk/blog/2010/03/microvision-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-review-how-does-the-show-wx-compare-to-other-pico-projectors/]]>Mar 9th 2010 6:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/Mar 8th 2010 9:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/
...I would buy one if i didn't have an irrational fear of public speaking. :)]]>Mar 8th 2010 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/Mar 8th 2010 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/Mar 8th 2010 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/
With this one at only 10 lumens, it's pretty dim. The Aaxa laser projector has 20 lumens, and that makes a big difference. It also has VGA connector standard, and has better resolution to boot. At this point if I were shelling out for a laser projector, it'd be the Aaxa L1.

But at this point, while laser pico projectors definitely have advantages over the LED varieties, I don't think the price difference can be justified just yet. LED projectors are about half the price for the same brightness, and while the colors might not be as rich and it may be more difficult to scale the size and focus, it's just not that big a deal. I'll get a laser pico when the lumens get to about 50, and when the price gets to about $300. Until then, I'm going to have to stick with my Dell m109s, flawed though it may be.]]>Mar 8th 2010 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/
I'm still using a lcos pico with screensplittr and Air Video on an Iphone to stream movies from my media server onto the bedroom ceiling. Mine has 10 lumens and it's fine for us in a pretty dark room at a distance of around 8 feet giving an approx 70 inch screen. If you want to go bigger or use in a less dark room you need more lumens,

Also, the one I have (The Wowee Cinemax) is the only one that has a design feature that allows you to prohect straight up by just flipping the head of the device. No messing about with (purchased seprately of course) tripods or mounts,

I paid around 200 bucks for the Wowee and, aside from autofocus and higher res, I can't see anything that would make me want to shell out 3 times the price on this.]]>Mar 8th 2010 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/Mar 8th 2010 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/Mar 8th 2010 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/Mar 8th 2010 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/of course you should have the option to plug the phone into the socket while using it, otherwise it will drink all the juice.]]>Mar 8th 2010 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/Mar 8th 2010 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/

Looks pretty awesome to me!

$999 is alot of money but im sure someone will pay it for the first 20 days. and $549 is still a little pricey but for good quality, sounds worth it to me. And im sure it will come down over 3 months or so.]]>Mar 8th 2010 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/Mar 9th 2010 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/microvisions-show-wx-laser-pico-projector-available-to-buy-toda/
