Gift Guide: Optoma PK-101 PICO Pocket Projector

by Jon Chase on November 15, 2008 at 12:01 AM



Optoma PK-101 PICO Pocket Projector (Traveler, Under $500)

For gadget lovers, the PICO is the equivalent of a biologist seeing an entirely new species for the first time: It's a revolutionary new breed of portable gadgetry. About the size of a point-and-shoot camera, the PICO is able to project video, still images and graphics onto a wall-or anything else put in front of it?from 6 inches diagonal on up to a whopping 60 inches. It has enough battery power for about 1.5 hours of use and can be plugged into a camcorder, a PC, DVD players and virtually any other device with a video-out port, meaning the tyranny of tiny LCD screens is soon a thing of the past. Granted we'll probably find these in cellphones and built-in to laptops within the next few years, but for now it truly is an early-adopter Holy Grail.

Price: $430
