A wireless projector powered by 2 XO batteries with a 2 hour run time costing $100. Add on kit that attaches to back of XO screen between battery and screen that uses LEDs for projectors. Possibly on a more expensive XO laptop.

The 100 dollar Projector

• Mary Lou may already have a design for this
• Ultrabright LEDs
• High resolution, high colour LCD
  • See the Ipod 3g Nano Screen, for an example
    • Reported to cost less than 12usd
• Diverging Lens?
• USB to LCD processing ICs
  • USB micro controller
  • USB to digital graphics converter
  • LCD controller

Laptop to projector connectivity

• Can the laptop talk to the projector via an exported X session instead of USB-to-VGA dongles? The projector will need to have receiving equipment (wifi or USB) and be able to run the exported X session on its LCD.
