Sometimes the power of your message is what’s important…but sometimes the ability to deliver that message at all depends on being able to get a projector up and running. Optoma Technology wants to make that do-able for anybody with its new Pic PK102 DLP video projector: it weighs just 4.4 ounces and is small enough to fit in a pocket—and it also sports 4 GB of internal storage for images and video and can run off batteries for up to 90 minutes. And, unlike it’s predecessor, the PK102 can accept composite video input, and offers a universal port that can handle both VGA and component video input.

Super Talent Shrinks Thumb Drives to 1.4"
Tiny as they already are, thumb drives haven’t stopped shrinking. In June alone, Imation debuted its own super-tiny Nano, outdid itself with the even smaller Atom, and Corsair shrank its well-known Voyager to miniscule proportions. Now, the relatively unknown Super Talent has debuted its own micro drive: a model just 1.4 inches long.
The Pico D joins Super Talent’s existing line of small Pico drives, but takes them one notch smaller. It features transfer rates of up to 30 MB/s, a chip-on-board design that’s responsible for its size, and a swivel cap.
Microvision Unveils Pocket-Sized Projector
Washington-based Microvision believes it has a solution to the tiny displays that are currently commonplace on media players, cell phones, and PDAs: Project them instead. On Wednesday, the company unveiled plans for its SHOW pico projector, a battery-operated projector that can fit in a pocket and throw an image up to 100 inches across. First glimpses of the prototype will be shown at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The Pico uses a new laser-based projection system dubbed the PicoP display engine. It can project full-color 848 x 480 pixel images anywhere from 12 to 100 inches, without the need for focusing. The device is also expected to deliver 2.5 hours of battery life, enough for a full movie.
