We’ve mentioned in earlier articles about the mobile PicoP projector from Microvision. This little model is going to be put in Motorola cell phones and will be able to show WVGA (854 x 450) resolution images. Gizmodo got to preview these projectors first hand. They mention that their only real concern is that the noise level of the laser-based system is to loud. They were assured however that the LED models will be a lot quieter when the final product is released. Gizmodo has a picture and a short video of the PicoP in action.
