Oregon Scientific's Portable WiFi Projector comes with a hinge, flirts with your ceiling
A projector from Oregon Scientific, you say? Nope, it's not one of those clock and weather projectors, but rather an actual DLP pico projector. At CES 2012, the company was kind enough to show us an early prototype of its Portable WiFi Projector that'll handle FWVGA (854 x 480) at 1,000:1 contrast and a good 80 lumens of brightness (50 if powered by USB alone). Apparently at 3.2 meters from the wall, such combination should produce a clear 120-inch wide picture in total darkness, so we shall see. The final unit -- dummy pictured above -- will be slightly smaller than the working prototype, yet it'll pack a 90-degree hinge (not a first, of course), a focus slide, a 3.5mm headphone jack and some buttons for brightness, power and volume.
Acer's P5260i WiFi projector beams imagery sans wires
Add one more to the WiFi projector heap, as Acer has just blasted out a new one. The P5260i features 802.11b/g WiFi and can theoretically support HD streaming of MPEG1/2/4, WMV, AVI, DivX, XviD, ASF and VOD files. Of course, the native 1,024 x 768 resolution puts a damper on all of that, but other specs you may be interested in includes the 2,700 ANSI lumens, 2,000:1 contrast ratio and VGA / DVI / HDMI inputs. We haven't seen a price / release date just yet, but don't count on it being exceptionally cheap.[Via SlashGear]
