"Business Class" Favi Pico-Projectors Run Small, Have Linux, Will Travel [Projectors]

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...-q.preview.jpgI'm still not sold on pico-projectors, but obviously that fact hasn't stopped companies from continuing to make them. I even saw one on a cellphone in a commercial once—they're so mainstream, man! And now Favi has two more:
Who? Right. Favi's a first-timer around here. Anyway, they have two new additions to the pico-projector space: The RIOLED-Q and the RIOLED-V, two distinct little things that focus on business use (the former) and Linux/web apps (the latter.)
In the former's case, "business" translates into a bright, 2-speaker-sporting pico-projector with A/V, VGA and USB connections. There's memory built in, although it's not said how much, and the form factor is small (note the pen), which is no surprise.
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...i-rioled-v.jpgThe RIOLED-V is actually a netbook slash projector, featuring Linux, web apps (YouTube, Flickr and a few other ubiquitous ones like weather and email were mentioned) and wi-fi. It kind of reminded me of that MSI projector PC the CES guys spotted out in Vegas this week, albeit a smaller, half-baked version that does not look anything like a small space ship with 1080p.
Both projectors are due out in February or early March. Maybe I'll come around on the whole pico-projector category by then. [Pico-Projector Info]
