Ah, the pico projector . An concept that flourished if but for a moment, but never really hit that critical mass that CE companies yearn for. Evidently that matters to not Acer, who has decided to kick out two more for good measure. The downright diminutive C110 (seen above) is a DLP-powered beamer that gets all of the juice it needs via USB, measures just 110- x 85- 25mm and provides up a WVGA (854 x 480) native resolution. The LED bulb is alleged to last as long as 20,000 hours, and it will go from dead to dazzling in five seconds flat. Moving up a pair notches, there’s the C112 (pictured after the break), complete with an optional external battery (good for 2 hours, we’re told), a 1,000:1 contrast ratio and the same WVGA resolution. Either one of these guys are slated to hit UK shops on the end of the month, with prices set at £199 and £22, respectively.
