This is the PLC-XW60, the world's smallest and lightest XGA LCD projector—according to its maker, Sanyo. Weighing in at just 3.6 pounds, the projector can beam a 1024 x 768-resolution, 100-inch image on a wall just nine to 11 feet away and is aimed at teachers and travellers. Find out what else the compact little blighter can do below.
As well as automatic keystone correction and automatic input signal detection, the XW60 has an adjustable color mode for projecting onto different surface colors, and there's no cool-down cycle thanks to its easy-off function, which means you can just unplug it and shove it back in the cupboard straight away. Available in April, the PLC-XW60 will cost $795. [AVING]

You know, Infocus has a 2.4 lb XGA projector. Sure, it's only 1800 lumens (vs 2000), but it weighs 1.2 lbs LESS. It also seems smaller in size:
Infocus: 7.8 x 2.5 x 6.1
Sanyo : 10.4 x 2.17 X 7.40
I think Sanyo's marketing dept needs to do a little more research. Appropriate use of "Claims", Giz.
I got your 'world's smallest and lightest' right 'ere!
Oh....wait....
The MBA of projectors - Small, light, snooty, carried by someone wearing skintight black clothes, with optional stupid music.
Wouldn't it give a clearer image if it was aimed at a wall or screen instead of teachers and travelers? I mean, unless they were islamist extremists, why would you want to blind a traveler that way? (I know most teachers are already blind, so it would make little difference in their cases).
@Skeptical_Geezer:
LOL!
@James: I have a six year old proxima XGA projector that is both smaller and lighter than this one, but it's DLP. I'd bet that yours is, too.
Sanyo is claiming world's smallest LCD projector.
