The most intriguing was an unnamed Samsung phone that featured a pico projector (the follow up the the Asia-only W7900) embedded into its top. Despite have a projector built right into it, the cell was remarkably lightweight and felt good in hand. We beamed a video from the phone to the table, wall, and floor, and enjoyed a surprisingly detailed image with rich colors. It’s powered by Texas Instrument’s new DLP Pico chipset that delivers a sharp, DVD-quality 854 x 480-pixel resolution.

A release date hasn’t been decided, but we’re hoping to see this Sasmung phone appear on American shores as it could eliminate the need to lug full size projectors.

The FTC alleges that Intel isn’t just being competitive in the market but unfairly hampering other CPU makers (AMD being the only serious competition, according to the FTC) by either threatening or rewarding computer vendors to keep them from buying other CPUs. The suit also alleges Intel redesigned their compiler to actively hamper the performance of non-Intel chips (instead of the compiler simply working better with Intel chips, a subtle but important difference).

Intel’s response to the lawsuit is that it has done nothing wrong. It also included an allegation that the FTC didn’t investigate some of the claims against Intel before filing and tacked them on just before. Though they aren’t explicit, I wonder if these are the same Section 2 “tag along” claims that Commissioner Rosch dissented on in his Concurring and Dissenting Statement (PDF).

Should the FTC win this suit, how much will the CPU landscape change? Will it resemble the current GPU landscape which, according to the FTC, is in danger of being taken over by Intel in a similar fashion to their CPU dominance? It will be years before the dust settles, but hopefully the court filings and procedures will give us a glimpse into the competitive world of computer processors.

The ViewSonic PJD6220-3D will be available in February for $1,499.

We had a chance to play with the MBP200, and the image quality when projecting the movie Madagascar was surprisingly good–although you’ll get the best results with an image size closer to 20 inches. We also found it simple to focus using the built-in control.

The only thing that could be better than a pocket size projector is one that is integrated directly into a phone, and Samsung had one on display called the Anycall Show. The device uses Samsung’s TouchWiz interface, and the lens for the projector is on the top side of the handset. This phone, which should be available in South Korea soon, wasn’t much bulkier than an iPhone, and it displayed MPEG-4 videos with barely a hiccup. All we had to do was fire up the media player app and aim the Show at a small screen.

We’d love to see Samsung bring someting similar to market by the end of the year, as it could be a boon to presenters on the go and those who just want to watch video on something larger than a phone’s display. Check out the gallery and stay tuned for a video of these ambitious picos in action.

• 3000 lumens
• 1600:1 contrast ratio
• 1024 x 768-pixel native resolution
• 15-pin RGB, RCA, and S-Video connections
• Eco Mode technology to increase lamp life by 40 percent (for up to 3,500 hours of operation)
• Quick start and instant shutdown
• AutoSense (one-touch optimization that intuitively syncs the projector with most computer signals)

The $1,399 projector will begin shipping later this month.

The pico also has a microSD Card slot for swiftly loading content, 3.5mm jack (for adding headphone or speakers), and a small screen holder (with a telescoping pole hidden inside) that can turn a standard sheet of paper into a screen for viewing movies, documents, or photos.

We’re still wrangling up pricing, availability, and specs, so check back for more details.

You simply connect the Wireless USB dongle to a PC (and the base to the projector) to conduct wireless presentations at a range of up to 30 feet. It also features advanced scaling options for maximum screen usage.

The Imation Wireless Projection Link will be available tomorrow for $249.

In our hands-on test, in which we played video clips and read news headlines, the Dell M109S proved the superior projector. It displayed a crisp image and robust colors that totally outclassed the 3M MPro110’s rather bland video.  It may have a power brick that’s the size of a, well, power brick, but in these preliminary tests, we think toting the extra may be worth it if high-quality video is an essential.

That’s not to say that 3M’s projector is without merit. It’s far more pocketable than its rival and more than $100 cheaper, which will help it find an audience with those looking for a low-cost, travel friendly projector that delivers a decent image. Still, the image warping and washed out video may turn off some.

We’ve put together a video of both projectors in action so that you can get a sense of what both devices offer. Which mini-projector do you find the most compelling? Sound off in our poll!
