Sub-$100 mini projector due out in fall 2009

You can spend about $300 to $400 for a small projector that fits in your hand. Jakks Pacific is rolling out the EyeClops Mini Projector which is supposed to cost under $100. This appears to be built for use by kids and the low price suggests that you should not expect tons of connection options or extremely high resolution video. However, at $99 you may be able to overlook those limitations. Jakks says that you can project up to a 70-inch screen with its Eyeclops Mini Projector. The device won’t be available until the fall of 2009.

When I was a kid, we had “projectors” that were pretty much specialized flashlights with slides to view images. This would have been much better assuming the image quality isn’t too poor. I could see picking up one of these just to play video games or watch another football game.
