The converter box supports multiple HDMI 1.4a inputs and can be changed between 2D and 3D modes. It supports 1080p 3D with passive glasses needed, which are much cheaper to buy than active 3D glasses. The thing is compatible with only DLP 3D projectors.

If this is exactly what you need it will ship in December says 3D-Display-info with the price at Amazon of $499. The converter box ships with one pair of glasses. Each pair of extra glasses is $83. I wonder if since the thing uses passive glasses the glasses from the theater will work.

The iClops has an autofocus lens, pivoting mount and can take 2.1-megapixel stills or shoot VGA-quality video; it can stream video at 15fps, and has a built-in microphone.  There’ll be a companion video recording app in the App Store when the iClops arrives in March 2011 for around $130, though it’s not yet clear whether Face Time will be supported.  Scosche also apparently plans to run a competition to name the iClops.

Meanwhile the Optoma Neo-i pico-projector is a desktop iPhone/iPod dock with stereo 8W speakers and a 50 lumens projector on the back capable of 854 x 480 16:9 aspect video.  There’s also HDMI, VGA and composite inputs, for using the Neo-i with external sources, together with an audio output and an optional $40 iPad connector kit.  There’s also talk of potential battery power, though we won’t know for sure until its official debut later this month, priced at around $450.

The Optoma GameTime projectors are aimed specifically at computer and console gamers, with the introduction of three new models to satiate any particular style of gaming you partake. GT720 and GT360 are equipped with short-throw lenses, have a 2,500-lumen brightness rating, and have a 3,000:1 contrast ratio. Both of these models also include a 10W built-in speaker, just in case you’re not taking full advantage of that surround sound system. The GT360 is designed for the Wii, surprisingly enough, as the projector has a native resolution of 800×600, and it’s meant for a standard definition unit, even if it can receive an HD input, and is compatible with Macs and PCs.

The GT700 utilizes DLP display technology from Texas Instruments, and has a resolution of 1280×800; but its lumen rating is 2,300, and it has a contrast ratio of 2,500:1. With these lower specifications, it’s no surprise that the 700 has a lower price tag as well. As for the GT720, the resolution comes in at 1280×800 for 720p resolution, so it’s perfect for your Xbox 360 and PS3. Each of the new Optoma GameTime projectors weighs in at 6 and a half pounds. The GT360 costs $599, while the GT700 rings in at $749, and finally the GT720 will run you $799. Anyone out there going to order one for yourself?

The cheaper PK201 is listed at $299 and offers two running modes: 12 lumens in Eco or 20 lumens in Standard.  There’s a microSD slot for up to 32GB cards, a 0.5W mono speaker and a 3.5mm audio output port.

As for the Optoma PK301, that’s brighter at 50 lumens in Standard mode (or 20 lumens in Eco mode) and has a microSD card slot, mono speaker and audio output.  It can project up to a 120-inch picture, versus the PK201′s smaller 66-inch picture, and has an optional external battery pack.  It’s listed at $399.  No word on when either model will actually begin shipping, however, hence the patience required.

Its sub-$200 price makes it a little over $20 less than its PK-101 sibling.  According to the Amazon description there’s a USB port which can be used for recharging, but no word on whether you can also hook up a netbook or similar and use it as an input; from what we heard earlier, the only input on the PK-100 is a simple composite video port, making the pico more suited to entertainment than as an impromptu business tool.

They’re also claiming a somewhat unbelievable 1,000:1 contrast ratio, though we’ve a feeling you’d need to be in a particularly dark underground bunker in order to make the best of that.  Inputs include composite video but no USB, as we’ve seen on some picos recently, which means the PK-100 is more suited to entertainment than churning out your latest PowerPoint presentation.

As for that “bargain” price, Optoma expect the PK-100 to drop for $199, though hopefully online discounts will drag that down a little.  It undercuts the PK-101 by around $20, and the top-end PK-102 by $50.

You can blow the image up to 120-inches. It sports a contrast ratio of 4,000:1 and also has a 1,700 lumens of brightness. Other features include two HDMI ports, as well as a VGA connection.

Analog connectors are also included such as RCA and component for added flexibility. We don’t have a release date for the Optoma HD20 yet, but the $999 price tag is certainly enticing.

The DWA010 is Apple iPod/iPhone AV cable accessory, designed to enable its video and audio outputs via a single mini cable connection to the Optoma PK101 pico projector. The cable is 960mm in length and has an adjustable volume control near the end of the cable. It’s available some time this week in Japan for a mere 600 yen ($6.60).

Technically, the mini projector has native resolution of 480×320, it’s lower than the supported video outputs from your iPod/iPhone that’s reaching 480 horizontal lines of resolution. The cable is composite type video format, carries additional audio signal and has a single connector for output, it’s quite common for nowadays small form factor multimedia players.

What we do know is that the Pico Projector uses an LED backlight and is obviously going to be battery powered.  The picture shows what looks to be a mini-jack labelled “AV IN” on one side, and seemingly a microUSB port on the other.  Optics are provided by Texas Instruments.

It’ll be available first in Europe and Asia, with “limited distribution” late in 2008, before a worldwide launch in 2009.  No suggestion on price as yet.
