Toshiba TDP-FF1AU Palm-Sized Projector
At roughly one pound in weight and small enough to fit on one hand, the Toshiba TDP-FF1AU DLP projector uses low-power LED lighting and is great for you presenter-types. The $699 display device supports SVGA, or 800 x 600 resolution and is a scant 5.5" x 2.2" x 4.0" in size. An external LiON battery pack of approximately the same size provides 2 hours of Power Pointing or whatever else your projection needs require. The TDP-FF1AU projects from an 11-inch to a 68-inch diagonal display at up to 400 Lux and is packaged with a foldable 23-inch diagonal screen for those places where you can't find a white wall. I could see this as a very usable mobile display, especially when paired up to the VGA-out on a UMPC. Toshiba...perhaps a review unit is in available? I've got just enough room in my gadget bag.

Well, the only thing geekier than a pocket protector is a pocket projector...
Actually, if you could combine this with a Q1 and a USB-dongle for over-the-air HDTV reception, could this be turned into the world's smallest home theatre rig?

This might be nice for SDTV, but not full HDTV; minimum res for that requires 720 horizontal lines of resolution, but this projector will only do up to 600. Still, a DTV USB tuner and this could still be fun!

I could take this projector and Flash to Korea and shoot some of the DMB TV on a big wall.

D'oh! For some reason I was thinking the projector was 1024x768. Oh well, it'd still be cool to see EDTV too.
