Digitimes has forecasted that pico projector shipments will triple to ten million units over the next two years. They don’t offer a lot of justification, but I’ve seen all the justification I need any time I show somebody one of these things. “Wait, that’s the projector?” “And how much does it cost?” At that point they’re a little afraid — these things aren’t cheap yet, usually above $300. But drop that by a bit and increase the lumens by a few? These things will be flying off the shelves.
