The Best Projector for iPad 2

The iPad 2 was released in early March and has since been widely received as a monumental improvement to its predecessor. With its new HDMI output, the iPad 2 can do a whole lot more than it once could and projector connectivity couldn't be simpler. Using the iPad's keynote application, it is very easy to create visually stunning and content rich presentations that can now be displayed to a much larger audience. So other than a conventional HD projector, what can you connect your new iPad 2 to in order to project decent images?

Rather than focus on the older pico projectors like the Optima PK201, MPRO & AAXA that were released in late 2009 and early 2010, we will focus on two of the latest and greatest - the MicroVision SHOWWX+ and the Cinemin Slice.

If not, you're a lot better off getting the...

SHOWWX+

After about a year of the SHOWWX, Microvision decided to release its second pico projector, the one with the '+'. By far the most popular and slickest looking projector, it's fair to say that this is device is the market leader.
