Konica Minolta Building Thumbdrive-Size Projector
The Raw Feed —
Konica Minolta is reportedly working on a PowerPoint projector that's so small you could fit several of them into a single pocket. The projector uses laser beams and vibrating mirrors instead of light bulbs and lenses. How small? The projector will be only 1.6 inches long, .79 inch wide, and only .3 inch thick. That would make the projector not only as small as a thumb drive, but as small as a VERY SMALL THUMB DRIVE. (props to The World Is My Office and CrunchGear)

... inches thick—roughly the size of a smallish thumbdrive. When all is said and done, Konica believes that this new projector will be able to throw 20-inch color images in XGA resolution at distances of about 20 24-inches away from the screen and use less than 1-watt of power while operating. Unfortunately, the device will not be ready for public consumption for another 2 or 3 years, which opens up the door for another company to one-up their one-up.

Konica Minolta’s Really Tiny Projector
PR News: —
... a big image, just position it 50 to 60cm away, and a 20-inch color image in XGA resolution will be projected. Konica Minolta has used piezoelectric elements to vibrate micro mirrors, instead of a projector lens at 30KHz.
It is rumored that Konica Minolta will offer the tiny projector to the consumer market within the next two to three years. As yet there are no real images of the new device, the above image is not the projector, it is just used for illustration.
