I was under the impression that most of the micro projector do 640x480 native or less. Should be good for movies and Power Point slides, but showing live demos would be sort of ugly.
I ordered the 3M MPro120 this morning, should have it tomorrow so I'll report back once I've tested it. I plan to use it just for watching movies and conference videos on hotel room walls so even if the display is a bit fuzzy it will be better than having my laptop sat on my knee. If I can get randr working properly I'll be able to carry on working while watching as well. Robin

Hope this helps... CodyThe ones I'm looking at are just SVGA/USB driven, not full machines.
