Honlai reveals palm-sized MP100 LED projector

Honlai may not be a household name just yet, but if it can up the resolution on its minuscule projectors just a hair, there stands a decent chance for it to become one. Details are pretty scarce right now, but we do know that the MP100 LED mini-projector utilizes LCoS micro-projection technology and can throw up a 640 x 480 image between 5- and 37-inches. We're also hearing that it packs a modest 200:1 contrast ratio and a lamp good for some 20,000 hours of use. Not a peep on pricing / availability, but we'll be keeping an ear to the ground for more on either.

I will have to be told why this has made it on to EngadgetHD..........

Also, 200:1 contrast............just dont bother to list it as a spec.

LED / LCoS technology, for one. And we will eventually see HD resolutions in palm-sized projectors. It's an evolution of technology.

That looks nice. Bump up the resolution a bit and this could begin to replace LCD monitors.

It looks like a weird-ass hair dryer.

If they can get this thing out for like $150 or less Im sure it will be a nice purchase, to be used with ipods, laptops and game systems. But most likely its gonna be like $500+ and no1 will buy it
