Konica Minolta Developing Projector That's Smaller Than a Thumbdrive
Posted 11/19/08 at 05:31:48 PM by Andy Salisbury

So you’re looking to get your hands on a tiny projector, but that Pico just isn’t small enough? Well, it looks like the folks at Konica Minolta have heeded your call, and are currently in the process of making a projector that’s no bigger than the average thumb dive.
The new projector is reportedly going to be a mere 1.6 inches long, .79 inch wide and a paltry .3 inch thick. What’s more, is the projector will be able to put up a 20-inch XGA color image from a distance of about two feet.
What makes it all possible is the use of laser beams and vibrating mirrors, as opposed to the traditional light bulb and lenses. Sadly though, you’ll have to wait until at least 2010 to pick up one of these bad boys. Konica Minolta is stating that they’ll be on the market in two or three years.

The first cell phone to integrate this has my money. Got an iPhone right now, but my loyalty goes to the best player in the market.
But my first thought was integrating this into a watch. Don't know why, but it seemed like a cool idea. Heh. Maybe 'cause it's one step closer to a James Bond laser watch. ;)
I fail to see the need
