Pico projectors made a strong presence at Pepcom’s Digital Experience at CES 2009 with a slew of the tiny devices displaying impressive image quality from their dimunitive size. I took a few pictures of the devices and was shown the display engine begging to be installed into more mobile devices.

I have always wanted to see these Pico projectors….pretty impressive stuff.
I stopped by the Qualcomm booth and happened upon these prototype Linux based touch tablets running on the Snap Dragon platform. The prototypes were designed by Inventec, an ODM out of Taiwan. Video later.

Truc and I are at the Toshiba press conference. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear we’ll be seeing a new Tablet PC or Netbook from Toshiba this week.
