Some specifications are: 2500 lumens, Automatic Trapezoid Compensation and Direct Power-on Function, a 1024x768 resolution and a PCMCIA port that will accept a WiFi card for example. Price should be around 3600 Euros."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/epson750c.jpg" /><br /><br />The article doesn't explicitly mention that this is the 745c but the PCMCIA slot appears to narrow it down to this one. I wish there were more details on that PCMCIA slot, but there doesn't appear to be much, even off of the <a href="http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=48547628">Epson site</a>. For example, I can't tell whether I can pop in a CF storage unit attached to a PCMCIA sleeve and then project data off of it. However, the wireless capability seems very nice because it reduces the hassle of wires. I have often been stuck teaching in rooms where there is no fixed projector and standing in the middle of the room with my laptop attached to a portable projector is a hassle. This would be the perfect fix. Price is listed at 3600 Euros, but I can find it for under USD$2900.
