Well certainly there is some kind of buzz created during the recent Computex Show in Taipei of a “Flip” like camcorder that comes with a pico-projector built Drugstore buy acomplia cheap online in.

According to a local tech news source in Taiwan—Digitimes, Life Technologies, under its DigiLife brand, is showcasing a DV pico projector, the DDV-JF1. The DV features a 5-megapixel CMOS sensor, H.264 video compression, 30fps frame rate at a resolution of 1280×720 and a 2.5-inch LCD display.

The projector support Q720P(640×360) resolution and has a whiled LED backlight at an 8 lux brightness.

Really Cool Idea! Only problem ….it will be a long shot if they will get it there.

Reason, Ampicillin online is not the 1st time DigiLife, a Taiwan Company had woo the press with amazing concept but simply failed to deliver. During 2007, they claim that they come out with DDV-7120HD, a CCD based Pocket Cam which can record 720P Video while the rest of the market can only do it Buy Cialis on a CMOS sensors. Pretty advanced during 2007, just that it never happens.No explanation whatsoever is given. It is a common practice in some Taiwan Companies to pitch “hype” and disclose cool product just to confuse competitor and the market at large, especially during B2B trade shows and exhibitions. So before we get excited, here’s a few facts about Pico-Projectors.

What is a pico projector?

We know that projector were mainly Buy Levitra an office equipment used for presentation, but when Epson introduced Epson Movie-Mate, a portable projector that had an DVD and Music Player built in about 2-3 years ago, the usage of projector shifted from a hard core office equipment to Home Entertainment. The Pico- Projector take it to another level by adding the Mobility element on top of that.In one word, Pico-Projecor is a hand-help projector with a module small enough to fit it in other gadget like a laptop, mobile phone and camcorders. At the moment, most pico projector is avaliable as a stand alone product.

The limitation and challenge

According to a report from prjectorcentral.com, on average a pico projector is about online pharmacy levitra an 8th the size, a 4th the weight, a 10th the brightness , and a 3rd the cost of a pocket projector, but with slightly less resolution (640 x 480) than a pocket projector (800 x 600). A few pico projectors are even lower resolution (480 x 320).
So, for anyone who wanted to integrate it into a handheld device, they will have a few Big Hurdles to overcome, including  power consumption, above average brightness, cooling element for an overheated LED bulb and price. The biggest if all is Price and Power.

From all the stand alone pico projector we find  generic female viagra n the Computex Show ( We are talking about ready product here), if you find one like the Aiptek V10 Plus, which gives you reasonable image quality, the export FOB cost is about USD180 and above. For other that gives the price  around USD135, the quality is simply….crappy! So an realistic estimated retail price for this “Flip” like camcorder with a built in projector will almost be over the USD250 marked, anything lower than  that simply signal a stock clearance due to early product EOL (End Of Life)

As for the power, yes, the pico-projector can operate in a li-on battery, but we are talking about a built Tadacip in to a “second tier brand” camcorder.Most current camcorders from second tier company like DigiLife runs out within 60 minutes when making videos, so a pico projector will simply amoxicillin online shorten it.It won’t be nice if we use the “projector” function and runs out of battery in 30 western generic levitra union virginia woodbridge minutes.

This DigiLife “gadget” shown at the show is simply a mock up dummy, so is more like a “concept” than a actual product. So we could not get one for testing. According to their VP, this gadget will be ready during Q4 2009, we will give them til Q1 2010 and see “how” Cialis Jelly they deliver.
