Optoma today announced that they’ll be building the forever anticipated pocket sized Pico projector and it’s availability will be later this year.  If you recall, I’ve posted a few articles about this in the past but until recent it was all tentative.  The Pico projector will connect to virtually any portable device and display an image many times larger than its source.

Should be pretty sweet considering devices like the iPhone and such are becoming ubiquitous.  The Pico will probably have its place in the business presentation world.  Next step: the Pico projector in a cell phone – we’ve all been waiting for that one.

The Pico Projector will use a DLP chipset, support composite video connection and run on Lithium-ion batteries (I’m sure you can plug it in too).
