Samsung's new P400 Pocket Imager projector is designed mainly for businesspeople on the go, so it's pretty tiny. Inside, its DLP unit is a native 800 x 600 resolution and its LED lighting pushes out 150 lumens, resulting in a 30- to 40-inch display capability with 1000:1 contrast ratio. It takes the standard RGB, composite, S-video and audio inputs, and has two 1-watt speakers. Plus, though it's no pico-projector, it's just 5 x 3.7 x 2 inches in size and weighs 1.9 pounds, so it'll carry nicely in your laptop bag. And you know what? Just coz it's businessy doesn't mean it has to look ugly or utilitarian: so Samsung has actually made this thing look pretty good. Available now for $749, full press release below.

LP-XP200L from Sanyo is World's First Four-LCD Optical Engine Projector
With its four LCDs, the LP-XP200L is bigger, brighter and more colorful, claims maker Sanyo. With brightness of 7,000 lumens, a Color Control Device to perk up colors, as well as a built-in Active Maintenance Filter system, the projector will be on sale in Japan from September 24, for a mahoosive $17,500, but curious buggers over here can see it at InfoComm 2008 in Las Vegas, which is scheduled for June 18 to 20. Specs are below. More »

R2-D2's In Ur Serverz, Monitoring Ur Packetz
These gigantic Japanese nerds just rigged up an R2-D2 DVD Projector into a server monitoring system that alerts them whenever a system is down. R2's got Nagios, a monitoring app, an IR controller, and the ability to project what's wrong for the people to see. The video illustrates how it works in a dramatically geeky manner. These should be standard issue in every server farm around the world. [Syun - Thanks Motohiro!]

On show at Computex is Honlai's portable projector for the iPhone. It's a dock-style gadget that you slot your first-gen iPhone into, beaming a smallish image onto the wall in front of you. This strikes me as such a good idea—it's currently just a concept—that I really hope Honlai, the brains behind this palm-sized LED projector, put this into production. Catch a bonus image after the jump.

Car Projector Clock: If You Need One You Probably Shouldn't Be Driving
There are plenty of projector clocks on the market, but many of these are shaped like Batman and confined to bedroom use. However, Brando is bucking the trend with a projector clock designed to be used in the car. Naturally, the size of the date and time displayed is dependent on how far back you mount the device, but the bottom line is this: if you need to spend $32 on a device that projects and magnifies the time in your car, it is probably time to put the keys down and pick up a pair of glasses.

ASUS Laptop With Built-In Projector Raises PowerPoint Threat to "Critical"
Tucked away in a quiet corner at Computex, ASUS is showing a nondescript laptop with a built-in pico projector. Tiny projectors have made various appearances at the tech show so far, most recently from Foxconn, but no other company has incorporated them into existing products, or for that matter shown many compelling applications for them other than in bulky and unrealistic cellphones. ASUS has provided the first example of what could be a fantastic use for this burgeoning new tech. More »

Indiana Jones Crystal Skull Projector, Not Morbid At All
In case the Indiana Jones whip is outlawed in your state, there's always other Indiana Jones merchandise to purchase! Take this Crystal Skull Projector—an accompanying audio CD teaches your child history as the skull projects some of Indiana's most famous moments, along with history's biggest archaeological finds through its "glowing eye." At $39.99 this October, it's probably not the most bang you can get for your toy buck. But that skull is probably the finest piece of edutainment we've seen this side of the 80s.

JVC and Kenwood Will Join Forces, Merge in October
JVC, the group behind the scenes of popular projectors and thin LCDs, and Kenwood, known for their car stereo equipment, will merge in October. The new company, JVC Kenwood Holdings, has been discussed for almost a year, when the two first collaborated on car electronics. So what happens when you merge TVs and car equipment? Lots of ugly rides. And, hopefully new, great gadgets. [Forbes]

Today we took a look at the Kuro 2G plasma compared to the 1G and others. We also had a look at the JVC-made projector that Pioneer is branding Kuro Elite. The hype—if not the price—seems totally worth it. But instead of trying to tell you how much I enjoyed the display of in-yer-face contrast comparison, take a look at the pics I snapped. I marked some with shutter speeds, so you can get a better sense of what we saw. More images of the thinnest Elite plasma monitor and a look at the projector after the jump.

Sunvision PMPP, World's First Media Player With Pico-Projector
We've been talking about pico-projectors for a while, and here's what's apparently the world's first commercially available media player with one built right in: the Sunview PMPP. The LED-lit iView IPL630 unit inside it can project a VGA display up to an impressive-sounding 53 inches, but only a brightness of 9 lux at this size. The rest of the PMP sounds ok: a 3.5-inch LCD, speaker, remote, SD slot and size of around 5.2 x 3.1 x 1 inches. Interestingly it runs a Windows CE core, so it should be able to project documents and presentations. How does it look or sound? We don't know, as it's only available in limited quantities for now, and there's no word on prices. [Display Daily]

Sanyo's Big and Bright 4200 Lumen T-Series Projectors
Sanyo has launched two new 4200 ANSI lumen projectors that pack enough punch to throw a screen up just about anywhere, regardless of whether the lights are on or not. The PLC-ET30L will give you 1400 x 1050 resolution, while the more affordable PLC-XT21/L produces 1024 x 768. Aside from the resolutions, both models seem identical in other respects and both models let you go big, in fact, huge; that is as long as you consider 300" diagonal big, so you better set aside a comparatively hefty budget for your screen.

Sanyo Claims XGA LCD Projector World's Smallest and Lightest

InFocus IN83 DLP Plays Slightly Bigger Than Its Older Sibling
InFocus's new IN83 DLP projector may look the same as the previous IN82 model but it does pack some slight upgrades. Displaying full 1080p HD, the IN83 features the latest DarkChip4 DLP chipset and HDMI 1.3. The IN83 specs appear to be just a step above the IN82, and this slight upgrade wouldn't be complete without a price increase. So here's what's new about the IN83.

Nokia Patent Describes Cellphone With Virtual Keyboard
Virtual keyboards aren't exactly a new concept, but Nokia's patent describes a cellphone with integrated equipment, which allows a virtual keyboard to be set up more rapidly. The patent, titled, "Mobile device with virtual keyboard," does away with the need for a separate projector entirely, by instead using the onboard camera and optical sensors that are already present in typical cellphones. There is a drawback, however. More »
