News From CES - Palm-sized DLP Video Projectors Attract Attention: "Palm-sized DLP Video Projectors Attract Attention In what may turn out to be a very interesting new consumer electronics product category, both the Texas Instruments and InFocus booths at CES displayed working prototypes of small palm-sized DLP video projectors. The projectors shown were powered by a TI DLP chip with an LED light source instead of a high wattage lamp, to reduce heat generation and power consumption. Although not as bright as their larger cousins, both units on display were capable of projecting a solid 27-inch image in a darkened room setting. Although specifications are still being finalized, the Mitsubishi and InFocus branded projectors are expected to hit store shelves by the end of 2005, with an expected price of about $600."
