One pound LED Projector (battery included)

There were many companies talking about LED projectors over the past few years, but Toshiba will start selling their TDP-FF1A next month (Jan 23) in Japan for 98,800 yen (US$847.34 at 117.78yen/$). It is only 565 grams (that's about one pound).

Specs are: 800x600 (VGA), 400 Lux, contrast of ratio of 1500:1, throw distance of 0.4 to 2.5 meters. And it also includes a mono speaker (0.5 watts). [For lux vs lumens, check out wikipedia.]

It includes a battery that weighs 250 grams and can power the projector for 2 hours! And it also comes with a 23" projector screen. Not a bad deal for $900!

Samsung has DLP Pocket Imager (to be out sometime 2006?).

Update 12/25: as Russ pointed out, Mitsubishi with PK10 is out on cdw. Merry Christmas!
