Okay, so Mitsubishi apparently leaked some updated information and pics of the PocketProjector in the first week of June. We’re just catching up…
Since it was such a huge hit when we first covered the initial announcement, we wanted to keep you all in the loop. We’re hoping to be one of the first independent review sites to get our hands on a unit, but people like Mossberg get first crack y’know! ![]()
In addition to the updated pictures, the following is the latest data off the preliminary spec sheet for the PocketProjector. Note that it includes an estimated ship date of September, and estimated street price of $799 (which is extremely competitive for such advanced technology).

This “Pocket Projector” concept is SO cool! I caught your original coverage coming from Slashdot, but glad to see you’ve now got newer information. Mitsubishi is looking like they’ll actually ship this projector! And for $799?? That’s an amazing deal given advanced DLP and LED technology. Yeah, it’s a little light on brightness, but… gman
