    There's several articles here on the new micro projectors out on the market, namely the 3M one.  Does anyone have any real world feedback on these projectors?  The article makes it sound like the 3M one is all that - but it's only 640x480 and 12 lumens.  Is this really compatible for business presentations?  Another micro projector I was looking at is the AAXA P2 pico projector:

    At 33 lumens and 800x600 it's better, but is that really enough for presentations?

    Anyone with any experience?

    Thanks!

      I don't think the purpose of micro projectors is business presentations in a large room.  They are more likely for showing a couple people closeup perhaps against a white wall next to you.

      there are several high lumen quite small lightweight but non-micro projectors that show up at various times with speakers at groups I attend.  These are more suitable for projecting to a roomfull of people.
