Add one more to the WiFi projector heap, as Acer has just blasted out a new one. The P5260i features 802.11b/g WiFi and can theoretically support HD streaming of MPEG1/2/4, WMV, AVI, DivX, XviD, ASF and VOD files. Of course, the native 1,024 x 768 resolution puts a damper on all of that, but other specs you may be interested in includes the 2,700 ANSI lumens, 2,000:1 contrast ratio and VGA / DVI / HDMI inputs. We haven’t seen a price / release date just yet, but don’t count on it being exceptionally cheap.

If InFocus’ earlier duo put you to sleep, don’t look to the July-bound IN5100 series to change much. The company’s latest snoozer was designed for large-venue installations and packs a native WXGA resolution (XGA on the 5102 / 5106), 4,000 to 5,000 lumens, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, dual stereo speakers and VGA / HDMI 1.3 / 5 BNC / component / S-Video / composite inputs. Yeah, these are pretty bright and all, but we still can’t wrap our heads around the $3,499 starting price.

Looks like Honlai had more than one mini-projector on display at Computex. The MP101 is capable of throwing a 15- to 27-inch display form your iPhone or iPod touch in a 4:3 aspect ratio. Unfortunately, we’re talking just 10-15 lumens and a 200:1 contrast. Still, it’ll do for a quick and dirty LCoS jones. See a working prototype after the break.

What’s so special about the MOTO Q 9c anyway? For starters, it boasts Verizon Wireless’ popular VZ Navigator service, and we shall learn more about this business class handset after the jump.

The MOTO Q 9c is somewhat similar to its predecessors - the MOTO Q 9m and the original MOTO Q. This productivity tool is perfect for business executives who are always out on the road, providing access to over 14 million points of interests for those who have signed up with Verizon Wireless’ VZ Navigator service. Customers will be able to take advantage of the visual and audible turn-by-turn directions to a destination, locate business meeting destinations, ATMs, restaurants, and other places in an area, get a map of a location, bookmark favorites and recent searches, and even share locations with others memory future-proofed up to 32 GB.

Verizon Wireless will be offering the MOTO Q 9c for $249.99 after you send in a $50 mail-in rebate and agree to a new two-year contract. For those who sign up for qualifying voice and data plans at the time of purchase, you will be able to benefit from another $100 credit toward the purchase of the handset, which means you will have spend just $149.99 on the MOTO Q 9c in total. Of course, what’s the point of picking up this smartphone if you aren’t planning to take advantage of its data-centric features? Verizon Wireless Nationwide E-mail plans for MOTO Q 9c start from $79.99 for 450 anytime voice minutes and unlimited e-mail, while the VZ Navigator comes with a $9.99 monthly access fee.

It’s amazing what a breakthrough does for perception (and competition), eh? Shortly after taking a look at the impressive PLC-XL50 from Sanyo, Toshiba has announced an “extreme short projection” offering of its own. This one, however, requires three whole feet in order to toss up a 60-inch image, which seems sort of ridiculous compared to the three inches needed by the aforementioned Sanyo. To its credit, the TDP-EW25U does boast a higher resolution (1,280 x 800), and it also features a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, DLP technology, 2,600 ANSI lumens, USB / RS-232 ports, integrated 802.11b/g WiFi, VGA, a built-in mono speaker and jacks for audio input. You’ll also find password protection and a bundled remote, which may or may not push you to throw down $2,369 to claim one as your own.

Runco and expensive tend to go hand in hand, so we’d expect nothing less than a five-figure price tag accompanying the firm’s new Video Xtreme VX-22i. This 1080p monster features a three-chip DLP design, O-Path technology, CinOptx premium grade lenses, Vivix II video processing, a 4,000:1 contrast ratio, 2,850 ANSI lumens and comes calibrated to ISF standards. As expected, users with a completely stuffed bank account can opt for the CineWide with Autoscope edition ($54,995), but even those who go without the aforementioned option will be forking out $39,995 for the vanilla model. If you’ve managed to get over the shock, you can place your order now (or pick up a totally more useful BMW / college education / etc.) and expect it to arrive lickety split.

Originally, we heard that the PowerLite Home Cinema 1080 UB projector would be headed stateside in December, but apparently Epson (smartly) chose CES to actually launch it. Aside from the 1,920 x 1,080 resolution and 50,000:1 contrast ratio, this unit also features a 3LCD optical engine, 1,600 ANSI lumens, 12-bit video processing, a pair of HDMI 1.3 inputs, the firm’s exclusive OptiCinema lens system / E-TORL lamp and a pearlescent finish nice enough to stare at. Best of all, this beast is not only available now, it’s available for $2,799 after a $200 rebate. Yeah, we’re diggin’ the trend.
