Microvision Ships SHOW WX PicoP Pico Projector To U.S. Consumers

Just because Microvision's SHOW WX laser pico projector shipped somewhere in the world, it doesn't mean that U.S. consumers have been able to easily find one. Today, the company announced that their flagship product is now available and on sale in America, with a special limited edition bundle heading things up.

Starting now, the Standard Edition SHOW WX and the Limited Edition SHOW WX promo bundle can be ordered in the United States, both of which are "Made for iPod" and able to beam iPod and iPhone content onto whatever wall is readily available. The projectors ship with accessories and can be ordered with an optional VGA dock that allows it to connect with a multitude of other devices. If you opt for the Limited Edition bundle, you'll get those extra right out of the gate.

If you needed a reminder, the SHOW WX projector has an industry-leading 848 x 480 resolution, and it's the world's first PicoP laser projector in a pico form factor. The Limited Bundle can be purchased for $999, while the Regular bundle goes for $549. Both should be in U.S. hands by March 24th.
