By Ian Bell February 22, 2005

The new mobile projectors, the XJ-360 and XJ-560, are capable of producing superior projection quality in a variety of conditions and are ideal for situations ranging from regular business meetings to high-powered presentations. The XJ-360 will be available at authorized dealers in late March and have a UMAP of $1,899.00. The XJ-560 will be available in late March, UMAP $2,899.00.

Main Features:

2X optical zoom / the maximum for a ultra portable data projector
CASIO’s proprietary zoom lens has been designed with 2X magnification to obtain the maximum benefit from the aspherical lens and low-dispersion glass. This enables clear projection from distances of as little as 0.8 meters from the screen, while projection of a 60-inch screen image can be achieved at any point between 1.6 and 3.2 meters. From small meeting rooms to large classrooms, the projectors lens offers tremendous flexibility in a lightweight, easy-to-use package.
Ultra-brightness from an incredibly compact unit
The reverse meniscus condenser lens and aspherical-shaped reflector enable these compact projectors to deliver an astonishing level of brightness, enabling clear projection even with the room lighting on. The top-of-the-line XJ-560 delivers 3,000 lumens for a remarkable level of brilliance and clarity.
Automatic vertical/horizontal Keystone correction and auto focus (XJ-560)
The phase differential sensor system automatically detects and corrects vertical and horizontal image distortion. In addition, auto-focus allows instant focusing at the touch of a button. Using the 2X optical zoom, you can freely adjust the projector’s focus length, greatly expanding your range of positioning.
Ease of use
Both models are easy to use and offer the flexibility of projecting great pictures
from anywhere in the room.
Direct Power OFF by removing the power cable after use (XJ-560)
Condensers are activated in the projector to power the fan offering protection to the lamp from heat damage.

New Sonos Ace wireless headphones look amazing, but some fans may be disappointed

Sonos Ace in soft white.

It’s official. After years of speculation — and many, many leaks — Sonos has debuted its first set of wireless headphones. The $449 Sonos Ace are available for preorder now and will be available starting June 5 in two matte-finish colors: black and soft white.

The Ace are loaded with the kind of tech we’ve become accustomed to seeing on flagship wireless headphones: active noise cancellation, transparency, spatial audio with head tracking, hi-res and lossless audio, and Bluetooth Multipoint. And that makes them head-to-head competitors with the likes of Sony, Bose, and Apple’s top headphones.

Formovie’s new Xming Episode One projector is $299 worth of compact cuteness

The Xming Episode One projector by Formovie.

Formovie, the Chinese projector maker that made a splash a couple of years ago with its excellent Formovie Theater UST projector, today announced that preorders are now open for its new, affordable compact 1080p projector, the adorable $299 Xming Episode One.

Falling under Formovie's independent sub-brand, Xming, the Episode One should fit in nicely with the portable projector set. Its lightweight and diminutive design -- it weighs 2.8 pounds and measures 6.9 by 4.8 by 5.6 inches -- makes it great for backyard movie nights.
