While the concept sounds good, having bought the 3M projector (for $399 no less) and returned it I can truly say that in reality we are still a few years off from practical business use. The brightness and size of the pico projectors simply do not allow them to be used for business applications. The 3M in particular which was advertised as a "business" projector was basically worthless as the brightness was low, and lacked speaker, storage, video decoding, etc. I ended up purchasing the AAXA P1 projector (which I love) for $239 but it cannot be used for most business applications. Sure if you have a marketing video or gigantic pie charts it might work, but spreadsheets, graphs, docs - no way.
These pico projectors are great for videos, pictures, and as a secondary monitor in a DARK ROOM only. This basically rules out most practical business environments. Here's some pictures to prove this point:
