Hitachi Japan has announced a total of four new video projectors [JP] specifically aimed at businesses today. The devices will hit Japanese stores on December 21, but Hitachi hasn’t said yet if the projectors will be sold outside this country as well.

The flagship model, the CP-X4020J (pictured above), produces 4,000 lumens brightness and comes with a 260W lamp. The CP-X3010J (3,000 lumens), the CP-X2510J (2,600 lumens) and the entry model CP-RX80J (2,200 lumens/pictured below) have just a 210W lamp, but all four devices feature a contrast ratio of 2,000:1 and 1,024×768 resolution.

The CP-RX80J comes with a 1W internal speaker, while the other three models have a 16W (mono) speaker on board. All of these projectors feature a “template function” for business presentations Hitachi introduced back in May last year.

Prices in Japan: $6,600 for the CP-X4020J, $2,300 for the CP-X3010J and $1,900 for the CP-X2510J. The price for the entry model is open.

A Japanese company called Sanwa is selling the 400-PRJ001 [JP], a portable projector that can be connected to your PC via USB (you’ll need two ports). Sized at 62.1×18.6×89.3mm, the device is really tiny and weighs 85g.

Put the projector between 20 to 200cm away from the wall and you’ll be able to view images that are 7.5 to 75cm high and 10 to 100cm wide. The device produces images with 640×480 resolution, which isn’t great but should be enough for most business presentations, for example.

The LCOS device costs $220 and is available from today. It’s exclusively available through Sanwa’s online store, which is available  in Japanese only. Contact the Japan Trend Shop or Geek Stuff 4 U if you want to get one shipped outside Japan.

Today,  on average there are two computers in every household in the United States.  The cost of computer hardware has come down so much that they are nearly disposable.The home computer has almost replaced the compact disc for storage of digital music.  Family photo albums are now digital slide shows  on the TV rather than books of printed images.  To keep up on all the drastic changes in technology, you need the latest copy of the popular computer magazines available today.

Home uses of new technologies is almost unlimited.Affordable high resolution video projectors are now available.  Projectors once were just used for business presentations and movie theaters.  Today, thanks to advances in lighting technology, projectors are physically small and similar in price to TVs.  Projectors can be setup in a living room to create a home theater environment.  Refrigerators are now available with built in computer systems.

The built in computer shows the refrigerator’s temperature and even has the capability of managing the food inventory.  If the system is setup you can program the computer use the internet to order an item from a participating grocer once the item is taken from the refrigerator.  Popular computer magazines can be used as a great tool for shopping for these new technologies.

Advances in technology have touched the security industry as well.Once just science fiction, eye and finger scanners are now a reality.  Today laptops and desktops can be secured with biometric devices that require the users finger to log into their computer.You can find the lastest on biometric technology in today’s popular magazines. Law enforcement security is now testing a body scanner that reads emotions and body temperatures to determine if an individual could pose a threat.  

Nanotechnology is quickly becoming a reality.Computer engineers, using nanotechnology, are now able to build chips and processors on very small surfaces.  These small chips can be used as storage devices to house data in small places as well as computer chips to create watch sized computer systems.

Popular computer magazines keep you updated on nanotechnology advances.  Nanotech can be used to create global positioning systems for tracking endangered wildlife in any climate as well as unnoticed by the animal due to its small size.Nanotech has increased the military’s ability to collect intelligence data with almost undetectable devices. (Don’t expect to find much about this in magazines!)
